Hath set to his seal

With reference to John 3:33—In becoming thus enlightened and obedient they became "the servants of God," purchased from Satan at the price of blood sold to him for thirty pieces of silver. By right of purchase, God calls upon all the purchased in Satan's household to leave his service, and come over to Him. "The Lord knoweth them that are his." This is the seal of His foundation (2 Tim. 2:19) and He sent out His trumpeters to make proclamation, and to invite His own to present heirship of the kingdom and eternal glory, for which He has purchased them of the enemy (1 Thess. 2:12; 2 Thess. 1:5; James 2:5). "He that receiveth the testimony of Jesus hath set to his seal that God is true" (John 3:33). He endorses understandingly all that God hath done. He rejoices in the purchase of redemption, refuses any longer to serve sin, and sings, "Unto him that loved us, and redeemed us to God by his blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation, and washed us therein from our sins, and hath made us kings and priests for God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for the Aions of the Aions" (Apoc. 1:5, 6; 5:9).
