If you have ever bought a house, you are aware of the extensive documentation required. The buyers and sellers use these documents to give certain commitments and warranties. Many of the documents may require a notary to place their seal on the documents to guarantee the authenticity of the signatures.
II Corinthians 1:21-22 says, “And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.” It is God who calls us to Himself. It is He who then works in us to make our faith strong, placing upon us His blessings. He gives us the Holy Spirit to empower us and as a seal of protection and steadfast love. He is God’s guarantee of the hope He faithfully gives.
