"Regarding the sealing of those to be raptured"


 

Nicole & Gino,

We do not need a sealing angel to be sent to our households if we are
in Christ for the scriptures tell us that we are already sealed in Him.

Ephesians 1:13, "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 4:30, "And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption."

The Lord does not marry a partial bride.  He raptures a full bride and it is HE who presents her without spot or blemish:

Jude 1:24, "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present youfaultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,"
 
Colossians 1:22, "yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach--"

Ephesians 1:4, "just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love..."

We are not depending on our works.  He who overcomes does so through Christ and not his own works.  Matthew 10:22, "You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved."  Enduring proves one's faith was genuine.  

Shalom.
