I had no idea.
So I searched SCRIPTURE.
And here's what Scripture had to say:
Ephesians 1:13
King James Version
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,
Ephesians 4:30
King James Version
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God,
whereby ye are sealed unto the day
of redemption.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22
King James Version
21 Now he which stablisheth us with you
in Christ,
and hath anointed us,
is God;
22 Who hath also sealed us,
and given the earnest
of the Spirit in our hearts.
2 Corinthians 5:5
King James Version
5 Now he that hath wrought us
for the selfsame thing is God,
who also hath given unto us
the earnest of the Spirit.
John 6:27
King James Version
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth,
but for that meat which endureth
unto everlasting life,
which the Son of man shall give unto you:
for him hath God the Father
sealed.
Revelation 7:3-4
King James Version
3 Saying,
Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees,
till we have sealed the servants of our God
in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them
which were sealed:
and there were sealed an hundred
and forty and four thousand
of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Revelation 9:4
King James Version
4 And it was commanded them
that they should not hurt
the grass of the earth,
neither any green thing,
neither any tree;
but only those men which have not
the seal of God in their foreheads.
Revelation 14:1
King James Version
14 And I looked,
and, lo,
a Lamb stood on the mount Sion,
and with him an hundred forty and four thousand,
having his Father's name written
in their foreheads.
Revelation 22:4
King James Version
4 And they shall see his face;
and his name shall be
in their foreheads.
Isaiah 42:1
King James Version

whom I uphold;
mine elect,
in whom my soul delighteth;
I have put my spirit upon him:
he shall bring forth judgment
to the Gentiles.
