Paul mentions that the Ephesians are sealed in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the guarantee of the inheritance we receive as sons and daughters of God. We will not see all of this inheritance until we reach heaven, but the Spirit assures us of this. The Holy Spirit is the “down payment” of the inheritance that we will have in heaven. His presence in our life is God assuring us that every blessing He has promised will be ours. Although we will receive more, the Holy Spirit is an amazing blessing. He helps guide us each and every day, making us more like Christ. He provides us with a direct line to Christ as we pray. He provides strength and comfort as we face temptation and trials. The Holy Spirit is something we should cherish. Do you cherish the Holy Spirit in your life or do you take Him for granted?
