Ryrie speaks to the sealing of believers in the Spirit. He states, “According to 2 Corinthians 1:22 it is God who seals the believer and gives the earnest or pledge of the Spirit. Ephesians 1:13 adds that we were sealed with the Spirit when we believed. Ephesians 4:30 states that we were sealed by or with the Spirit until the day of redemption. . . . God does it by means of the Spirit to seal in the sphere of the Spirit. . . . The believer is sealed the moment he receives Christ as Savior. . . . Sealing lasts until the day of our redemption . . . . This refers to that future day when our redemption will be fully accomplished, which includes receiving our resurrection bodies. . . Thus sealing guarantees the complete fulfillment of God’s promises to us.”
I have included these quotes by Ryrie since there is much ignorance within the church about what “sealing” means. Ryrie has made it clear, and we can maintain our faith and hope in this promise of God through His Spirit.
