The guarantee

"In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory" (‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭13-14‬ NKJV). Jesus knew that we needed more than just a belief of his existence. So, He gave us the Holy Spirit to come and live within us, to bring us life. The Holy Spirit brings us into a closer relationship with God the Father and Jesus Christ. He is here to direct our path and lead us into everlasting salvation and into the Kingdom of Heaven. He is our seal, made possible by the cross. The Holy Spirit is our down payment, our guarantee that we will receive our inheritance at the resurrection. The Word of Truth is the message of Jesus Christ and the cross. It is this message that brings salvation to the heart that believes. It brings hope to the life that trusts in the message. It brings eternal salvation to those who live it. The Word of Truth will enlighten the believer, and the eyes of their hearts will be opened. The Word will illuminate Christ. He will be present, showing them the Truth. This is the power of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life. Christ has greatness of power that exceeds far above all principalities, powers, and dominions. Christ has been given an exalted position, and He will remain there forever because of this finished work at the cross. "And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all (Vs. 22-23) " God bless you. Amen
