The Royal Family (Part 2)- The Royal Pledge

The Royal Family (Part 2)- The Royal Pledge


If the Spirit as "a seal" is living and dynamic, so is He as "a deposit" (Ephesians 1:13-14). Business documents often use this Greek word arrabon. One ancient note, written on papyrus, tells of a woman who sells a cow. She receives the first payment of one thousand drachmai. That amount is the arrabon - the deposit or down payment - assuring that she will receive the remaining money owed to her. Hence arrabon is also translated "pledge," "earnest" or "guarantee."




God's spoken pledge would be good enough, for God never lies. Whatever He promises comes true. But for our sakes God gives more. When assuring Abraham, for example, God adds weight to His promise by using a solemn oath. Why? "God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised" (Hebrews 6:17). In Abraham's case, God swears the oath by His own name, for no greater name exists. Now, for those in the New Covenant, God gives more than His majestic, ineffable name. By giving His Spirit in pledge, He gives Himself. "... in which God lives by His Spirit" (Ephesians 2:22). No greater person exists! Here is the best pledge possible, and it - or rather He - is our solemn guarantee that we finally receive our full inheritance!


Again, we should see this guarantee as having more than symbolic value. Take, for example, our weakness in changing sinful habits (Romans 7:14-24). Because of Christ's death, God allows "no condemnation" to touch us in Christ (Romans 8:1-2). Then God goes further. He throws Himself into the battle for our success. "If by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God" (Romans 8:13-14). Paul prays for our spiritual eyes to open and see twin realities: "His glorious inheritance" and His great power for us - power to reach that inheritance. Paul calls that strength, "His incomparably great power for us who believe" (Ephesians 1:19). That power is both "for us" and "at work within us" (Ephesians 3:20). Your hope of glory rests, not on your feeble self, but on the conquering King, "Christ in you."


The Royal Pledge


"God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory... [For this mission] I labor, struggling with all His energy, which so powerfully works in me" (Colossians 1:27,29).

"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom His whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." (Ephesians 3:14-17).


We used to struggle, without allies, in a losing war. Now the entire family - Father, Son and Holy Spirit, followed by countless brothers and sisters - come to our aid in a winning war. The Spirit as a pledge, therefore, serves as more than a certificate of guarantee.

He also guarantees - actively and effectively - our successful inheritance. As we trust and follow, no matter how often we stumble, Jesus keeps this family promise:

"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.... If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him" (John 14:18,23).




Dear Members or Friends, True Disciples or Leaders and Rulers

Lord Jesus' first disciples included His apostles. But they were not the last disciples, for He trained them to train others.

"Make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20).

Jesus our King did not say, "Make believers." A person may have some sort of belief, but never become a disciple. Our King Jesus does not say, "Make worshipers." People may give prayers and offerings without being disciples. All disciples believe and worship, but not all 'believers' and 'worshipers' are disciples. Our savior and King Jesus commands, "Make disciples." That term, as commonly used at that time, means, "Train learners who are committed to following their Teacher's instruction and example." Lord and our healer Jesus reinforces the meaning of continuing learning by saying, "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:20). Some refer to Matthew 28:20 as the second half of the Great Commission. It may be more difficult to fulfill, but it is essential for spiritual health as you "grow up in your salvation." Hearing and obeying Christ our Lord and Savior, these are like air to the disciple. To stop breathing that air is to cease being a disciple.
