The earnest of the Spirit is for our present enjoyment of what is coming in the future (Eph. 1:14).

• The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who is given unto us. God loves us as He will love us in heaven. Of the inheritance the Holy Spirit is but an earnest. We do not yet possess anything of the inheritance. (“Ephesians 1” by J.N. Darby)

• What makes a man abhor himself? He is born of God. He has no happiness at all, perhaps, but a deep sense of ruin; yet his heart cleaves to God. That man is born of God—truly converted: no comfort as yet perhaps in his soul, but his heart is open to listen further to the word of the truth, the gospel of salvation. He believes it. What then? He is sealed of the Holy Spirit, as a believer, not only in Christ, but in the gospel of our salvation—the work that Christ has done. (“Remarks on Ephesians 1:13-14” by W. Kelly)
