 In the Ephesians 1 text, we read that he sealed us with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance. God's good news of grace is not only words, but it's both a present gift and a guarantee of the inheritance to come. Knowing that we'll be anxious about our inheritance of eternal life, God gives us the Holy Spirit as a gift that is here and now. The Holy Spirit reminds us of the promise coming in the future, while also giving us his presence every day right now.
