And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit. -Ephesians 1:13 The seal of God’s Spirit in the believer signifies four primary things: security, authenticity, ownership, and authority. When a person becomes a Christian, the Holy Spirit takes up residence in his life. Life in Jesus Christ is different because the Spirit of God is now within. He is there to empower us, equip us for ministry, and function through the gifts He has given us. The Holy Spirit is our Helper and Advocate. He protects and encourages us. He GUARANTEES our inheritance in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is God’s seal on His people, His claim on us as His very own.The gift of the Spirit to believers is a down payment on our HEAVENLY inheritance. NO ONE can break the SEAL of God. YOU ARE SEALED.
