Good Day, this is Michael De Rosa and today my text is Ephesians 1:13
And because of what Christ did, all you others too, who heard the Good News about how to be saved, and trusted Christ, were marked as belonging to Christ by the Holy Spirit, who long ago had been promised to all of us Christians.
Being marked as belonging to Christ is another way of telling us that what God did through His Son for us can no way be tampered with even in the most minute amount…
…because nothing can come between us and the full display of His love towards us on the Cross
And , yet, have you ever disqualified yourself, like I have, by equating a vibrant faith with a feeling-good lifestyle.
Oh, how our emotions can mislead us, and railroad our precious faith in him. But, when I remember and meditate on what it means that God marked me as His, I am overjoyed and, quite really flabbergasted at the expense of the grace that he lavished upon me.
