In baptism, you have become king and priest and prophet. A king, in that you have dashed to earth all the deeds of wickedness and slain your sins. A priest, in that you offer yourself to God, having sacrificed your body and being yourself slain also, "for if we died with him, we shall also live with him (2 Timothy 2:11). Prophet, knowing what shall be, and being inspired of God, and sealed. For as upon soldiers a seal is imprinted, so upon the faithful the seal of the Holy Spirit is also imprinted.
St John Chrysostom
