When the gospel is shared and believed, a profound and life-changing event occurs. The believer receives the Holy Spirit and is sealed, marking a new beginning in their life (John 6:47, John 5:24 & 26). This sealing is the believer's rebirth, making them a new creature, free from the shackles of sin and its history.
I have heard and seen many who struggle or don't want to believe that once a man receives and believes the gospel they are saved eternally. This is because of ignorance. The enemy has blinded their hearts so that they don't see what God is doing. All that Christ did was eternal, nothing temporary.
The believer's salvation is eternally secure because they are sealed by the Spirit of God. This means they cannot lose their salvation, no matter what challenges or temptations they may face (John 6:51). The Holy Spirit's sealing is a guarantee of eternal life, a promise that cannot be broken or revoked.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ confirms the completion of redemption's work. Because Christ lives, and is seated at the Father's right hand, He continually works to keep our salvation secure, ensuring that we remain in His love and grace (1John 2:1-2. 1 Corinthians 15:17). His resurrection proves that the price for sin has been paid in full, and we are forever freed from its power and penalty. Nothing can separate us from the love of God.
The believer's rebirth means they are a new creature, with no history of sin or shame. They are no longer defined by their past but by their new identity in Christ. This transformation is made possible by the Holy Spirit's sealing, which marks them as belonging to God.
As believers, we are sealed for eternity, inheriting eternal life and all its blessings. We can live with confidence, knowing that our salvation is secure, and our future is certain.
