13. in him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also having believed, you were sealed with the holy spirit of promise.
Interpretation...
when you heard that Jesus came down to earth to die for your sins to make a way for you to have a relationship
with him and spend eternity with him in heaven (the gospel) You trusted that this was true, so much so that you believed
it in your heart that he did it for you. When you believed this to be true and turned to him and gave him your life....
He came into your heart and the Holy Spirit sealed you. Allowing you to be connected to him on earth, and as a promise
that you will be with him forever.
Application....
i pray that i will be able to live with the knowledge that i do have his spirit. and it is him that is in me right
now. i am going to listen for his spirit more in my life.. because i have been so busy and in control that i don't really
ask and listen for his vioce through the spirit as much as i used to. so practically i am going to... daily set time apart
to really get quite and listen to him.
