sis. dee Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Q4. (1:13-14) These verses contain two analogies: (1) seal and (2) downpayment, with the balance to be paid in a lump sum at the end of the term. When does the "end of the term" occur? How do these analogies help explain how the Holy Spirit functions in our lives? When does the "end of the term" occur? This will occur on the day of Jesus return and the rapture of the Church. The Holy Spirit gives us a little bit of heaven on earth. The Holy Spirit dwells in us, He is our teacher, He leads us. guides us, comforts us, He keeps us until the day of Christ return.

zam Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 1. It will happen on the day of redemption; the day where it is intended to be opened; the day of Jesus Christ's return and the rapture of the church. 2. They helped in understanding how the Holy Spirit functions in our lives allowing us to glimse God and heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcsed Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Upon our conversion, the Holy Spirit lives within us. Dwelling within us sanctifying us. With he Holy Spirit in us, we are able to face the world in our Christian walk. He empowers us over sin and temptation, teaches us and matures in the image of Christ. This is like a down payment, ernest money or a guarantee of what is to come. Sealing us is like when we have something sealed,(such as a package, letter, container..etc) meaning that it cannot be tampered with until the rightful owner comes and opens it. When Jesus comes back as King in His glory for His bride (the church). He is coming back to claim us as His own, then we will finally be made complete with new bodies, being rightful heirs, because we are a part of His Spiritual family and we will live eternally with Christ in heaven.

Jewell Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 The end of the term occurs when Christ returns, the rapture of the church, the day of redemption. The relation to the analogies and how the Holy Spirit works in our lives....sealed - marked or identified as Christ's until His return, the Holy Spirit is a "deposit" on the promise of Christ's return.

Don W Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 The end of the term of the complete fulfillment of God's covenant with us is when we who trust and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ will be in glory with our Lord forever and ever, and, praise the Lord, will be His full payment for His redeeming us from slavery to sin and the world unto Him as our Lord and Savior, and to be present with Him throughout eternity in heavenly glory. The “end of the term” occurs either when the second return of the Lord Jesus Christ occurs or else before that time if we pass this life and the Lord takes us home to be with Him forever. I can hardly wait for this term to end and then I'll be in the glorious residence with my Lord and Savior forever and ever! Amen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy T Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I believe that the end of term, is when all has been said and done in our lives and in this age. The Holy Spirit works in our lives by letting us know to whom we belong. His Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. He also let us know what is ours.

How do these analogies help explain how the Holy Spirit functions in our lives? The end of the term will occure when Isus come again. Holy Spirit let us feel (or see - it is difficult to express what I think on foreigh language) a piece of heavenly reality which expect us in eternity. But more important is that holy Spirit keep us from wandering around and go out of God's way, it keeps us "on track" and helps us to maintain dialog with God - throug Holy Spirit we speak to God and God speaks to us.

When does the "end of the term" occur. How do these two analogies help explain how the Holy Spirit functions in our lives? The end of the term means when we are in heaven with the Lord since heaven is our inheritance. The Holy Spirit seals us as His and is a down payment for us as a divine pledge of what is going to be ours. "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a fortaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit , washed in His blood. Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels descending bring from above echoes of mercy, whispers of love. Perfect submission, all is at rest, I in my Savior am happy and blest; Watching and waiting, looking above, Filled with His goodness, lost in His love." God Bless!

Beadie Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 The end of the term is when we leave this world and claim our inheritance as God's children. This will be at our resurrection when we finally go to live with our Lord for all eternity. We know that we will be resurrected and live with Him because we are His, bought and paid for by the blood of Christ -- redeemed as it were from our lives of sin. When we accepted His redeeming love and grace, we were give the Holy Spirit to live within our hearts. Having the Holy Spirit in us translates into our lives and attitudes being more Christ like and as a result marks us out as being God's people. But, having the Holy Spirit in us also gives us an inner peace and joy that can only be a fraction of the joy and peace of our eternal life with God will be like. This indwelling of the Holy Spirit is the consumation of the promise He gave to us that He would send his spirit to be with us while He is no longer with us physically. It is a part of our inheritance as God's children, the rest of which we will gain when He resurrects us into eternal life with Him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdamse Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 When Jesus comes back and we will take our inheritance will be the end of our term. The Holy Spirit guides us in all truth and helps us discern what is from God and what is not. We are sealed with Gods Spirit so that marks out that we are Gods children and covered by Jesus blood which protects us from harm. Having the Holy Spirit brings ushope and comfort since we know that we will receive our inheritance and that we can look forward to that.

Suellen Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 The seal and the downpayment is an analogy based on what Jesus Christ did for me on the Cross. God sealed the deal and purchased me with the love of giving His only begotten Son to save my wretched self. The balance to be paid at the end of the term is when everything is finally complete and we will leave with our Heavenly Father for eternity. Using analogies like these help us to fully understand what it is all about. The Holy Spirit convicts us in everyday living to hold our side of the deal as honest and legitimate as we should be. When we accept Jesus Christ into our hearts we have entered a transaction that is sealed with His love and we are to honor that transaction with the right attitude every moment of our life.

mags Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 End of term is when Christ returns Both these analogies help to understand how the Holy Spirit functions in our lives. 1. Seal - mark of ownership and authority shows who our master is internal rather than external God is in our heart 2. Downpayment - as wotj deposit for a house or hire-purchase - more than guarantee of payment - it is the 1st instalment of the purchase price - God has given us - not just promise of the final inheritance but a foretaste of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister Pauline Kelly Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I think that every thing said here must be taken personally, for me. Lord increese my Faith, Love and Hope in you. "The end of the term" occurs when we die. God has put his seal on us...the Holy Spirit which I have received in Baptism. I am marked with this seal as a means of identification, I belong to God. The downpayment is a guarantee, a pledge that he will do this for me. Q4. (1:13-14) These verses contain two analogies: (1) seal and (2) downpayment, with the balance to be paid in a lump sum at the end of the term. When does the "end of the term" occur?

When Jesus went to the cross He made the down payment on me with His blood. Then the Holy Spirit sealed it.We are sealed by his Holy spirit and He is our downpayment for a future with Christ through eternity but He is also our inheritance even now as Christ is our inheritance. I am His property sealed and delivered by the Holy Spirit.The Holy Spirit guarantees that we belong to Him and that He will do exactly as He promised. The rest of our lives is our annual payment towards His saving grace. The end of the term will be when Jesus returns and raptures us out of this world.

How do these analogies help explain how the Holy Spirit functions in our lives? God's wonderful gift of salvation is sure, true and completely dependable. He has chosen, redeemed and has sealed us in with Him. The seal is a seal which cannot be broken or removed, sealed by the Holy Spirit Who's mark is on us until the day when all things will come together under Christ. On that day we shall be fully saved, not that our salvation today is unsafe, but until we are brought into the presence of God out of the sinful flesh our salvation hsa not been consumated. What a wonderful wonderful thought, that God has predestined us, chosen us, freely given us forgiveness of sins, through the blood of Jesus. Washed us and redeemed us, He has also given us His Holy Spirit here on earth to live in our earthly bodies that we can be kept, sealed in a steadfast covenant. Thank you Lord for Your grace mercy and love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do these analogies help explain how the Holy Spirit functions in our lives? I think the end of the term is when Jesus comes to reign again on this earth. When I am sealed by the Holy Spirit, it means I am kept as in possession for my final payment at the end of the term. The Holy Spirit keeps me in tune with the Father and helps me to more fully understand the Word. I am sealed by the Holy Spirit's presence in my life as if I had a huge downpayment on the most extravagant gift imaginable...to be fully heirs with Christ in heaven and on the new earth.

wunway4u2 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 When we believed and accepted the finished work of Christ on the cross and have made Jesus or Lord and Savior: We were sealed with God's seal. Meaning that we are now his possession, purchased and redeemed by the blood of Chirst. We are a purchased possession. Meaning that the Cost of our lives, our souls was the life and blood of Christ Jesus by God himself. He crucified his son "To buy us back" from being lost, without hope. Your question "End of Term" is not written in my King James. I have until "the redemption of the purchased possession unto the praise of his glory". If that is what your trying to address than: We dont know the day, hour, minute, year, month or week when we will all be redeemed. God alone has that answer. With that said: There is no worry nor condemnation in Christ. We are made "Holy" by the covering of the blood of Jesus over our lives and our eternal souls. If this is not the passage that you want me to respond to, please clairify. Thank you. James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(3) A seal was used to protect against tampering or harm as we do today by putting locks on boxes. ity is what the Holy Spirit does. to us.(4) A seal was used to indicate the transaction was completed as we do today when we put our signature on a document. The Holy Spirit is the earnest money or down payment that guarantees the full payment of our inheritance in the future. the analogies help explain how the holy spirit functions in our lives? the Holy Spirit is the spirit of adoption sonship through this phase of the spirit in the life of a believer is the first payment or first measure of the spirit and of our inheritance untilthe fulness of the spirit is received andthe fulness of redemption is complete.
