Verse of the day: "Having 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." Eph. 1:13b-14
It's funny how the mind works sometimes.... I had been putting together a list of definitions of credit terminology for a project and it included words like collection, collateral, and deposit. So then I started thinking about the Holy Spirit as a deposit and that gave me a totally different look at his role. I mean, it seems like this verse is saying that the Holy Spirit is God's collateral on our souls. And that collateral is just a small percentage of the inheritance to come. It's kind of wierd to think that God is opening up a line of credit, putting a down payment on us, and paying us an inheritance in the future.
