And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 NIV
When someone hears the Good News of Jesus Christ, and through it comes to believe in Him, they receive the truth, the salvation provided to them through Jesus Christ.
This person receives a deposit, guaranteeing them of the inheritance which they are provided through Christ by the heavenly Father. The deposit received is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit indwells the believer and guides the believer in the ways of Jesus Christ. The believer, through the Holy Spirit, works for the advancement of the kingdom of God.
The redemption of God’s possession refers to the final and complete redemption which will come, collectively, when all who belong to the Lord have been drawn to Him, and individually, as each believer passes from this world to the eternal destination prepared for those who believe in Christ.
All of this is the perfect plan of the heavenly Father, and its attainment reveals the glory of the Father and the Son. We must continue to praise the Father and the Son for all that is provided to us. Without God, our lives would be worthless, but with Him at the center of our lives, we have true life, and will be with Him forever.
