Spiritual Blessings in Christ 3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love5he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will–6to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace8that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.9And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,10to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment–to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.11In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,12in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession–to the praise of his glory.

The purpose of sealing something is to hold it in so that it cannot escape. God knows our human nature and tendency to stray so he uses the Holy Spirit to seal us into a relationship with Him. For this reason, you cannot loose your salvation, it is sealed.

Now… after being born again; after being adopted; after having been given the greatest inheritance of eternal life and eternal salvation; if the person will put his trust in this gospel message and then believe, he will receive the earnest (a small amount provided in advance) of the same inheritance that he obtained at adoption which is reserved in heaven. This earnest of eternal life and eternal salvation is for the present. This is taking possession of life and salvation now. This is the life that the person will have while in obedience to God, and the life he will loose if he is disobedient. This is the salvation he finds if he is obedeint to God, and the salvation he will loose unto destruction if he is disobedient to God. The earnest which a person receives for obedience is the only part of the inheritance a person can loose, or fall away from, no matter how great the sin, because our inheritance in heaven is given by grace, and not by works of righteousness. www.BaptistCommentary.com

Once saved through faith, you are sealed with the Holy Spirit irrevocably.
