What Does It Mean to Be "Sealed"?

“...you were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.”

Ephesians 1:13


Ponder This

What does it mean to be “sealed”? The moment you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit of God seals you into Himself. That seal marks you as a child of God. You cannot lose your salvation and you belong to God for all time and eternity. When you are sealed, you are His!

Second Timothy 2:19 says, “Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His.'” You are sealed into a relationship with God by the Holy Spirit.

Practice This

Read Daniel 6 and Matthew 27. Note the similarities in the accounts of Daniel and Jesus being sealed away for death—and how the Almighty God delivered them unto life!

Real Truth Never Changes

Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
