Ephesians 1:14

"who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of gods own possession, to the praise of His glory"

The Holy Spirit is given to us as a pledge

• A pledge given was a physical token of a promise to be kept until the promise is fulfilled
• The promise is our redemption in Christ
• Also the promise of His return
• The pledge is the Holy Spirit to fill us and guide us until either Christ comes or we are called to Heaven

We are God’s possession

• He has promised to redeem us
• We belong only to Him

We are the praise of His glory

• When we live by the Spirit and walk by faith
