Ephesians 1
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
以弗所书·1
13 你们既听见真理的道,就是那叫你们得救的福音,也信了基督,既然信他,就受了所应许的圣灵为印记。 14 这圣灵是我们得基业的凭据[b],直等到神之民[c]被赎,使他的荣耀得着称赞。

What happens when a person truly trusts Christ for salvation?

One of the things, is that he/she receives the precious Holy spirit, who is their teacher, guide and comforter.

One of the things that the Holy spirit does is to seal us, to authenticate us in the sight of God.
圣灵所做的事之一就是为我们盖上印记,使我们在上帝眼中有效真正。
When you have a piece of porcelain from a world-famous factory, it will usually have the makers or artists mark on it, it is the same with us, we are sealed with God’s seal or stamp, we are His.
如果你拥有一个世界知名公司所产的瓷器,上面会有特有的标记或者大师像。与之类似,圣灵在我们身上所做的印记,使我们归属与他。
God has purchased us as His prized possession, He now seals us, remember that the Spirit of God is fully God, He can and does do this, the seal is the guarantee we will receive the inheritance.
上帝已经赎买我们成为他宝贵的所属,如今他用印记印我们,请你记住,圣灵是全然的上帝,他可以,也如此做了,他用着印记来确保我们会承受基业。
One day we will receive our full inheritance, it is a sure thing, there should be no doubt in our minds.
有一天,我们会承受全部基业,这是所定之事,无需怀疑。
I come to all these verses, and they are my favorite verses in the whole bible, their focus is on God and what Jesus did for us on the cross.
这些经文是我整本圣经中的挚爱,经文聚焦于上帝藉着耶稣基督在十架上为我们所成就的。
They go back to the dawn of history and look forward to heaven and to the glorious realization that we will be His forever.
这几句经文向后追溯历史曙光,向前看到天堂和我们为他所属的荣耀实现。
They are reassuring words for the believer, but also thay are words to motivate you, to share and proclaim what Christ has done for you.
这几句使信徒得确信,并激励你能够去分享,去宣告基督所为你成就的。
It’s truly awesome, but it’s no good keeping it to yourself.
这实在令人敬畏!但只留给自己却并非好事。
I pray as we delve deeper into Ephesians, these truths will resonate in your heart and mind.
我祷告,愿我们更深探索以弗所时,这些真理能在你心中回荡。
