Ephesians 1:14
"[The Holy Spirit] who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory."
Paul is excited about what God is promising. He is excited for himself and for the leaders of the church at Ephesus.
Paul tells us that the Holy Spirit, the promise of what God is, is also a promise for what God will give to us as an inheritance. And that all of that is merely a view to the redemption that we will someday receive.
So it just gets better and better.
Use your imagination for a second. What is God hinting at when He shows us a child being born? What about a sunrise? How about the love a noble husband has for his wife?
"To the praise of His glory"
Something ultimate is coming!
