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.
who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
Acts 20:32 "Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified."
2 Corinthians 5:5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
until the redemption of those who are God's possession
Ephesians 1:7-10 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment--to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
Romans 3:24 ... and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
to the praise of his glory
Ephesians 1:6 ... to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
Ephesians 1:12 ... in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
