What does the Bible say about being sealed with the Holy Spirit?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible states that believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit after they believe in Jesus, which confirms their status as adopted children of God.
Ephesians 1:13 teaches that after believing in Jesus, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. This sealing signifies that we have become heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. Although this profound reality may not be fully felt by the believer immediately, it is nonetheless a truth that establishes their identity in Christ. The Holy Spirit serves as a divine seal, ensuring that our adoption into God's family is secure, even in times when we may not feel the joy of that relationship. This seal reassures us of God's everlasting covenant love, transforming our relationship with Him from one of fear to one of familial intimacy.
