What does God do for us wounded, lost, proud people who humbly turn to Him? He establishes us securely in relationships with other redeemed and Heaven-bound saints. He anoints us like He anointed our Savior—the Anointed One—was devotes us for God’s good plans. He seals us so we are certified, identified, and protected as His prized possessions. Finally, (at least in this list), He equips us with a downpayment of His Spirit, promising that in Heaven we’ll be fully equipped to fully know and experience His Spirit.

Lord, because You’ve established me inside and alongside Your church, I give myself to honor and bless Your beloved people as You do. Thank You for anointing, sealing and outfitting me with Your Spirit...What amazing grace!
