Sealed with what? You have been sealed with Holy Spirit. What does this look like? What does this mean?
In years past, kings would write a letter of safety and give it to a subject for free and safe travels. Even though the King had declared such rights, it had no voice nor validity unless his seal was upon the document. His crested ring was pressed onto hot wax previously dripped on the letter. Now the letter itself was the very voice of the King. To disobey the letter was to disobey the King. That behavior was generally not a worthwhile endeavor. But speaking of Jesus... "And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high;" Hebrews 1:3 (NAS77) Jesus, when on earth, was the seal of God. When the Holy Spirit of promise came, the seal was upon all who turned in trust to Jesus. "In Him...you also were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise," (Ephesians 1:13, DLT emphasis mine) As His child, you have the right of passage and what you speak carries the very seal of God.
