" 13 And now you also have heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, He identified you as His own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom He promised long ago."
When I was but a wee tween, I went to the dentist to get dental sealant put on my teeth. Dental sealant is clear protective coatings that cover tooth surfaces and prevent bacteria and food particles from settling into the pits and grooves. After that I felt invincible & able to eat any sugary substance without worry of getting cavities, which, I never really had before, but I still felt invincible!
Dental sealant was the first thing that came to mind when I read "Sealed Forever", because like dental sealant, we are sealed forever... in Christ. God's sealant isn't for keeping cavities out, though, and it's not made possible with that weird plasticy stuff, but by the blood of Christ. When Christ died, He overcame death and made it possible for us to enter into His kingdom, forgiven & free from all sin; being sealed forever in Him. It reminds me also of I'll Stand By You. "Nothing you confess can make me love you less, I'll stand by you". Because we're sealed forever in Christ, there's nothing we can do that will make Him love us less; nothing we can do that will cause Him to break His promise to us. Keep on repenting, keep on declaring Christ as Lord, and keep on remembering His promise's to us.
Romans 8:37-39
" 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."
We are sealed, people.
