In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise. Ephesians 1:13
When we purchase property, we might leave a deposit to guarantee we will return to close the deal. That is called "earnest money".
When we obey the gospel of our salvation, God promises us that we are heirs of His Spirit. God seals that promise with a portion of His Spirit as a pledge that Jesus will return to redeem us. The Holy Spirit dwelling in us today is God's guarantee to return and close the deal. May that assurance give us confidence in our Christian walk.
