4. Paul speaks of being “sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.” What does this sealing signify, and how does it assure us of our salvation?
保羅提到我們被「聖靈所應許的印記」所印記。這個印記代表什麼？它如何確保我們得救的確據？
5. The Holy Spirit is described as a “guarantee of our inheritance.” What does this mean, and how does it give us hope for the future?
聖靈被形容為我們基業的「憑據」。這是什麼意思？這如何帶給我們對未來的盼望？

若時間允許：
這些經文如何鼓勵您信靠神的應許，並滿懷信心地生活，且在神完美的計畫中有一個目的？
