In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, -
When we heard the Gospel of Truth we believed it, received it and trusted it.     
In so doing we signed the New Covenant that the Holy Spirit offered to us by the preaching of the Word.     
As a result, we were Born Again and made New Spirit beings In Christ Jesus.     

Our New Spirit is perfect.     
Our sanctification in the New Birth made us eligible to receive the Holy Spirit.     

So, every such Born Again believer who asks for the baptism of the Holy Spirit is filled with Him.     

This baptism of the Holy Spirit is the seal of the New Covenant, He was promised and His presence in us holds promise of power going out of us.     

Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. -
The baptism of the Holy Spirit, as wonderful and powerful as He is, is only the down payment of our inheritance.     We cannot receive the fullness of Him into our mortal soul bodies.     But when we are transformed at the appearing of Christ Jesus we will be enveloped and saturated in Him.     

In that day there will be such rejoicing that His praise and glory will fill the earth.
