In Ephesians 1:13 we learn, "...you have been stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit of the Promise." We are blessed with the seal because we believe in Jesus Christ. We also know that our body is to be a temple for the Holy Spirit. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians has often been called the most theology-driven book in the New Testament. Paul is urging us to to learn about the theology of the Church in order for us to learn how to act. He is encouraging us to think, study and then do and pray in the same manner.  In addition, Paul tells us that we must repent, be baptized, and obey God's commandments if we are to be sealed in the Holy Spirit. It is not an inactive Christianity that Paul is talking about. It is something that must be developed and nurtured. How are you doing with this part? Do you spend time learning about your faith or do you simply exist and expect it to be poured into you "magically?" There is a big difference between knowledge and information. Information is available everywhere and the Internet has made it even more so. Having bits of information does not make you knowledgeable. To have  knowledge you must read, write, talk, share and apply information. Only then will you develop the knowledge and be able to apply it to the situation when you need it. Are you reading about God? How often do you open His book, the Bible? We know that it allows us to speak directly to God yet it is not a daily habit for many people who consider themselves very good Catholics. Do you talk about God? Do you write about God? Are you taking the information about God and applying it so that you have a knowledge about your Redeemer? This is a great opportunity to develop a prayer partner or accountability partner relationship with someone who shares your faith. This type of relationship, if properly maintained (usually weekly), can bring you to new heights in your spiritual development. I am thrilled that the Lord has stamped me with the seal. I covet a deeper knowledge about God and His Church. Paul speaks to us from almost 2000 years agoand his words are just as relevant today. Turn the information you have at your disposal into knowledge that you can use to bring Jesus to others. Now is the perfect time to start.
