Ananias and his wife Sapphira sold a piece of land. They had told God (Holy Spirit) that they would donate the price of the land to the church. But when Perter questioned them as they had only given a portion of the price to the church then fear came into Ananias's heart and he died. When his wife came in Peter questioned her also and she died. Some commentators say Ananias and Sapphira were unbelievers who had joined the church and were full of hypocrisy and were selfish people. Being unbelievers Satan was in control of their lives. Sin in your life can lead to an early death. Others say that because they lied to the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit took their lives.

How was Abraham's covenant sealed?

The New Covenant is sealed by the Holy Spirit. In Ephesians 1:13-14, Paul says, "And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession-to the praise of his glory."This tells us that we are in Christ (i.e. saved) from when we hear the word of truth and believe it. It further tells us that the seal marking us in Christ is the Holy Spirit within us. The Holy Spirit described as the deposit, or down payment, that God makes ensuring us that we are going to be with him. Because we have the Holy Spirit within us, giving us a direct connection to God, we can know that we have salvation and that his covenant is secure.AnswerThe New Covenant was sealed with the blood of Christ "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood." (Luke Ch.22)
