Called, Commissioned, and Sealed
Nov 2, 2025 • The Rev. Charlie Holt
Called, commissioned, and sealed: these three words summarize what Ephesians 1 says about every Christian. God's choosing rests on his love, not our strength or goodness, much like an adopted child who knows she was wanted. The church remains a mixed body of wheat and tares known fully only to God, and in baptism, with water and chrism, the Holy Spirit marks each believer as Christ's own forever.
