Jesus was set apart by the Father with a seal (Jn. 6:27). Those who are baptized into Christ are also marked, with the seal of the Holy Spirit, which is both familial and judicial in nature. Those marked by God belong to him; they are now of his householdthe Churchand are under his authority and protection from eternal damnation (see Catechism, pars. 1295-6).
