The Holy Spirit has stamped everything

a stamp and a seal of identification that you belong to God and it's irrevocable.

And in Ephesians 1, as we're talking about adoption, why is it that we receive the spirit of adoption and not sonship?

Ephesians 1 freed me, freed me from thinking that God can never save me from an orphan mentality.

We're going to start in verse 3 through 14.

It's a lot.

We're going to buckle in.

Okay.

Uh, three through 14, where are we at?

There we are.

Blessed be the God and the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed in us Christ with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places, even as he has chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love.

He predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will.

Verse 1.

In him, we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him, whose works, all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.

In him, you also, when you heard the word of the truth, the gospel, your salvation, and believed in him, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it and to praise of his glory.

That better minister to you.

Hey, oh my gosh.

The Bible is my favorite preacher.

Like there's sometimes I just read the Bible and I'm like, oh my gosh, I'd even need to like read, like go and listen to a sermon on that.

Like this is the sermon.
