When I think of the wording in this verse of being marked with a stamp,

the first thing that comes to mind is a USDA meat inspector’s seal. For them this seal

says that the product is okay for human consumption. But then I think about it

a little more and realize that unlike the USDA stamp, the stamp God puts on us

as believers is much more important because it shows that we belong to the creator of the

universe. I can almost imagine what the stamp would say:

100% FORGIVEN

HOLY SPIRIT SEALED AND FILLED!!

GOD APPROVED!!!
