All is taken care of in Christ Jesus.
2 Corinthians 1:20-22
v20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in
him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
v21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ,
and hath anointed us, is God;
v22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest
of the Spirit in our hearts.
Stablisheth is a greek word, number 950, bebaioo … which
means to stabilitate, confirm
So God has established, confirmed us in Christ Jesus the
Messiah.
Great! So, now, let’s look at the next part of verse 21…
Anointed is a greek word, number 5548 chrio (khree'-o)
meaning: (probably akin to NT:5530 see
below) through the idea of contact; to smear or rub with oil, i.e. (by
implication) to consecrate to an office or religious service:
NT:5530 chraomai which means: to furnish what is needed; (give an oracle,
"graze" [touch slightly], light upon, etc.), i.e. (by implication) to
employ or (by extension) to act towards one in a given manner
So, In Christ Jesus, God has Anointed us with The Anointing
that is Christ, thus we are empowered with His Provision of Salvation (rescue
and safety, healing, deliverance, and so much more).
John 1:12 says… to those that Receive Jesus, God’s Word…. He
Gives Them the Power to become Sons.
Awesome!!!
Now let’s look at verse 22….
Who hath ALSO Sealed us….. and Given Us …. The Earnest…. Of
the Spirit in our hearts…
And in Ephesians 1:13-14
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his
own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first
trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of
truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit
of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the
redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Sealed comes from the greek word number 4972 sphragzio which
means to stamp (with a signet or private mark), for security or preservation…
So God has put His mark on you and sealed you by His Holy
Spirit,… dwelling in your soul as LORD and on your mind as HIS … but let’s look
further into this…
Verse 22 also says that God has sealed us AND Given us the
EARNEST of the SPIRIT IN our Hearts.
So Earnest means the ENDOWMENT or FIRST PAYMENT of the
Purchased Possession which is You.
So God by Christ Jesus has Anointed You, and Sealed You, and
GIVEN You the First manifestation of your INHERITANCE IN CHRIST JESUS. ….
Remember…. IN HIM are the Promises….
Look at verse 20….For all the promises of God IN HIM ARE
YEA, AND IN HIM AMEN, unto the glory of God by us.
Yea in greek means YES! Greek number 3483 nai (Nahee), it is
a strong affirmation.
Amen in greek is the word “Amen” and comes from the greek
number 281 meaning “properly, firm”, ie (figuratively) “trustworthy”; as an
adverb it means “surely”.
So In Christ ARE all the Promises of God. He Is that
Seed of promise through Abraham and The SEED of God that came and OBTAINED all
the promises of God and our Redemption for us! AND IN HIM ARE THE PROMISES YES! AND AMEN TO
YOU WHO HAVE RECEIVED HIM. He has made
us Co-heirs of God With Him. What a Gift
And Blessing!!! What a Promise!!!
Hallelujah!!!
Those who have repented of their sin unto God and have
received His Son Jesus Christ as their Messiah are Stablished eternally in
Christ Jesus unto God; they are Anointed of God In Christ Jesus because the
Holy Spirit of the Son IS the Anointing, The Teacher In Them…. And is SEALED and Given the Earnest of the
Spirit in Your Hearts. This is The
Spirit of the Son that is Holy…and Is God the Father. They are One. Now come to abide in You. Your Salvation and Savior Forever In You.
Now even though the Earnest of God is In You, this means
this is the First of your Inheritance BEING REVEALED, in your
understanding. You have received the
Complete Work of Jesus Christ, and now a little at a time you are ENTERING IN
to HIS KINGDOM AND PRESENCE….. and in each step of faith there is the appearing
of more of His Glory that is swallowing up your mortality. (Romans 8:9-11; 2Cor 3:17-18,…)
The Earnest of your Inheritance which is Christ Jesus is
revealed, and all though you don’t see everything under your feet just yet…. You
do see Jesus and your Redemption is being manifested (made known to you) a
little at a time. If God pulled you in
all at once, it would overwhelm you.
The Full Redemption Cost is paid in full, yet released and revealed a
little at a time, so you are not overwhelmed or frightened, as you enter into
the HOLY ONE that is the “I AM.” His
Kingdom is Awesome, and so much to behold!!! Let Patience have its perfect
work. (Hebrews 12:22-29)
Now the fullness of God’s Redemption is being made known to
you…. As you enter His kingdom THROUGH HIS SON…EATING OF HIS BODY AND DRINKING
OF HIS BLOOD….ENTERING THROUGH THE DOOR WHO IS CHRIST JESUS.. . .. no one can
come to the Father but by the Son, Jesus Christ.
Hallelujah!!!! God
has taken Care of ALL THINGS for US… our life that is no longer ours, but is
Christ’s. Enter into the Joy of the
Lord!
Galatians 2:20 I am
crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me,
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of
God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Christ In You is Your Hope of Glory…. Confirmed in God. Enter In To His Kingdom and Presence WITH
JOY. (Colossians 1:26-27)
Amen.
