In this sermon excerpt, the speaker uses the familiar concept of earnest money in a home purchase to illustrate how God guarantees believers' salvation and future inheritance. By depositing earnest money, a buyer shows seriousness; similarly, God deposits the Holy Spirit within believers as a divine guarantee of all promised blessings—glorified bodies, the future kingdom, riches and glory in Christ. This indwelling Holy Spirit serves as proof of God's commitment and provides believers with assurance of belonging to Him.

Chapters

When you buy a home, in order to get the process started, you have to deposit what's called earnest money. And once you've deposited the earnest money, the seller knows that you as the buyer are serious. You mean business. In the same way, we know that God means business because He's deposited the Holy Spirit within us. Heaven, your glorified body, the future kingdom of God, everything that He's promised you, all the riches in Christ, all the glory in Christ, everything that He died to give to you, is guaranteed to be yours. And as proof that God means business, He put His Holy Spirit in you. That deposit now rests in you. That is your assurance that you belong to Him.
