Why is it significant that believers are sealed by God?
Answered in 1 source
Believers are sealed by God as a mark of protection from spiritual harm during tribulations.
The sealing of believers signifies God's protective promise over those who belong to Him. Revelation 9:4 states that the demons were commanded not to harm anyone who has the seal of God on their foreheads. This delineation provides a profound assurance that God protects His people from ultimate harm, even amid the trials and tribulations of a hostile world. This doctrine reinforces the idea that while believers may face trials, demonic torment cannot lead to their eternal destruction. The seal not only signifies belonging to God but also serves as a reminder of His power and faithfulness in the face of evil.
