Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(Eph 1:13) “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance….”  When I ponder the thought of the Holy Spirit being the earnest, my mind is taken to this term as used in real estate. The earnest money is put up as good faith that one will raise the rest of the money. Should you fail, you lose your earnest money. Can God (the Father) lose God (the Holy Spirit)? Impossible! That’s the point. So, rest secure in the promise of God. Heaven awaits the saved!
