You might say tthe Holy Spirit is our identifying mark as a Christian. In this text we see three specific reasons God ggives us his Holy Spirit.
1. The Holy Spirit is a Promise. Once again, Scripture reminds us that God has promised to send the Holy Spirit to all those who have heard the good news of the gospel and trusted Christ as Savior.
2. The Holy Spirit is a Seal. The Holy Spirit serves as a mark of owership, showing that we belong to God.
3. The Holy Spirit is a Guarantee. The Holy Spirit also represents God's pledge to bring us to our final spiritual inheritance. This word could also be translated as a first installment or deposit, signifying that his sealing in our lives is foretaste of much more to come!
God gives us the Holy Spirit not only to enable us to live out the Christian life but to prove that we are precious in his sight.

Read Ephesians 1:13-14

I wanted to add that God also gave us the Holy Spirit to remind of us of all the things He taught us.
