ACC ~ Ephesians 1 v13b

HOW THE SPIRIT SEALS US. DIDYMUS THE BLIND: One who takes on discipline and virtue receives in his own character the seal and form of the knowledge that he puts on. So one who is made a partaker of the Holy Spirit becomes likewise spiritual and holy through disciplined fellowship with him. ON THE HOLY SPIRIT 20.

OUR INHERITANCE IS SECURED. CHRYSOSTOM: By this seal God shows great forethought for humanity. He not only sets apart a people and gives them an inheritance but secures it as well. It is just as if someone might stamp his heirs plainly in advance; so God set us apart to believe and sealed us for the inheritance of future glory. HOMILY ON EPHESIANS 2.1.11-14.

SEALED IN THE SPIRIT OF PROMISE. CHRYSOSTOM: What does “in the Spirit of promise” mean? That we have now received him according to his promise. There are two promises, first through the prophets and finally through the Son. HOMILY ON EPHESIANS 2.1.11-14.
