“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise…” Ephesians 1:13
The Gospel is the Power of God unto salvation because the Gospel is His signature on the finished Covenant that declares man’s legal redemption. All who come to God through Christ have the legal right to receive the seal of the Holy Spirit, who is, Himself, the down payment of our inheritance…
What Does God’s Signature Mean?
God’s Signature means Everything! God has already signed off on an enormous inheritance that has been given to us. As far as God is concerned, we are His heirs having signed off on the everlasting Covenant when He raised Jesus from the dead!
Romans 8:16-17 tells us that we are his children, and therefore, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ! Think of a joint account where two signatures are required to make a withdrawal. The Father has already written His will and appointed us as joint heirs with Christ. Now, we know that a will is simply a document until the death of the testator. When Jesus, THE Testator, died, every promise, provision, benefit, blessing and empowerment that was written in the will, the Old Testament, became the legal property of the heirs.
Jesus’ Endorsment
When Jesus was alive, He already signed off on ‘whatsoever we shall ask the Father in His Name!’ (John 14:13; 15:16; 16:23; and 16:26) He is the Co-Endorser with us for all the provisions of the New Covenant. He has already signed off on our requests, as well as everything we call for in His Name, as Peter and John did at the Gate Beautiful in Acts 3:6!
The only requirement remaining is OUR signature! 2 Corinthians 1:20 says, “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” The last two words, BY US, refers to OUR sign off, which are our requests and declarations in the Name of Jesus, who we are joint heirs with!
That means that every declaration of faith, every prayer of faith, every proclamation of the Promises and Provisions in the Will are BY US! Since the Father is the Guarantor, and our Joint Heir has already signed off on our requests… all that’s needed is our signature which is our prayer of faith, our declaration of faith, or our act of faith! Those act as our endorsements. Requirements are met and the withdrawal of benefits is released!
Remember, the Old Testament is the New Testament concealed; and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed!
Psalm 103:2-5
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
With Love,
