|
| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "...all those things (which he brings to two heads, that is, faith and
charity) are increased in us by certain degrees, so that we must desire an increase of his
grace, from whom we have the beginning, and from whom we hope for the
end." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "God has laid up spiritual blessings for us in his Son the Lord Jesus; but
requires us to draw them out and fetch them in by prayer." |
|
| From
Wesley's
Notes.
| "The sealing seems to imply, 1. a full impression of the image of God on
their souls. 2. a full assurance of receiving all the promises, whether relating to time
or eternity." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "The Spirit, like a seal, impresses on the soul at regeneration the image
of our Father. The "sealing" by the Holy Spirit is spoken of as past once
for all." |
|
| From The People's
New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
| "The 'earnest' money was a small part of the purchase money given in hand
to bind the bargain. Paul says that the Holy Spirit given to God's children is such
earnest of the inheritance that he will bestow, a small part given now as a proof to his
adopted children." |

| "Most of our prayers are taken up
with ourselves or with those nearest and dearest to us. Needs of others occupy a small
place in our prayer life. Paul’s prayers are included by the Holy Spirit as a
corporate part of the epistle." |
