What does the Bible say about sealing by the Holy Spirit?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that being sealed by the Holy Spirit is the evidence of salvation, signifying authenticity and God's ownership.
In Ephesians 1:13-14, the Apostle Paul states that believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit after they hear the gospel and believe. This sealing serves as a mark of authenticity, indicating that the individual truly belongs to God. It is a divine guarantee of our inheritance, ensuring that we are preserved for salvation and one day will be fully redeemed. The evidence of this sealing is not found in outward behavior alone, but fundamentally in the act of hearing the gospel and believing it, which the Holy Spirit enables.
