Ephesians 1:12-14

Ephesians 1:12-14. That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 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, which is the earnest of our inheritance unto the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

You have got the Holy Spirit. He is God’s seal upon you that you are indeed saved men and women. In getting that you have already received the earnest, that is, a part of the inheritance never to be taken back. A pledge has to be restored, but an earnest is kept for ever: the Spirit of God is ours, and in having him we have all things.
