who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire the possession of it, to the praise of his glory
*ETS:
The presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer provides assurance of future blessings and final redemption to the praise and glory of Jesus Christ.
*DTFTD:
The Holy Spirit is the Christian's contact with everything divinely spiritual and eternal. If we do not have the Holy Spirit's presence in our lives, we are not saved (i.e., we have no spiritual life and we do not have a relationship with Christ. See Romans 8:9). Without the Holy Spirit we would not have assurance of a future with Christ. Without the Holy Spirit we would not be able to understand spritiual truth (ICorinthians 2:11-16). Without the Holy Spirit's work in our lives we could not display the character of Christ (Ephesians 5:22). Without the presence of God's Spirit in our lives we could not provide a clear convicting witness of the gospel (Acts 1:8). The Holy Spirit is our ever present Comforter, Counselor, Teacher, and Guide. The Holy Spirit, being with and in us, provides the most powerful, positive, personal guarantee of our future in Christ (John 14:16-17). May you enjoy the Spirit's presence and blessings today.
*EDS:
The Holy Spirit's presence and work in our lives provides evidence we are not of the world, even as Christ was not of this world (John 17:16).
