How do we know we are sealed by the Holy Spirit?

Answered in 3 sources

Believers know they are sealed by the Holy Spirit through their trust in the Gospel and the internal witness of the Spirit.

The belief that one is sealed by the Holy Spirit is grounded in the promises of Scripture. Ephesians 1:13 declares that upon hearing and believing the Gospel, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. This sealing signifies ownership and security in Christ, assuring believers of their eternal status. Furthermore, this internal witness of the Spirit manifests itself in a transformed life, aligning desires with God’s will. The regenerate heart, empowered by the Holy Spirit, will inevitably exhibit love for Christ and a longing for Him, substantiating the presence of the Holy Spirit. This personal assurance is vital for believers as they navigate their faith journey, reminding them of their identity in Christ.
