What does it mean to be sealed by the Holy Spirit?

Answered in 8 sources

Being sealed by the Holy Spirit means believers are marked as God's own and guaranteed preservation until the day of redemption.

The sealing of the Holy Spirit is a significant aspect of a believer's identity in Christ, as expressed in Ephesians 1:13-14. This sealing indicates that the Holy Spirit dwells within the believer, marking them as God’s possession and ensuring their eternal security. The seal acts as a sign of authenticity and commitment on God's part, demonstrating that He will complete His work of salvation in them. It also serves as a guarantee or down payment for what is to come - the full realization of salvation and eternal life. Thus, the presence of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life is a vital comfort and assurance of their standing before God.
