Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God,
who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:5 NIV

What’s the purpose of a deposit?
a sum of money placed or kept
in a bank account, usually to gain interest:
“cash funds which are an alternative
to bank or building society deposits”
a sum payable as a first installment
on the purchase of something
or as a pledge for a contract,
the balance being payable later…
“we’ve saved enough for a deposit on a house”
We’re familiar with the term…
but probably not in the sense
that God put up the deposit
on our lives in the form of the Holt Spirit!
We can’t have a better guarantor than that!
And what a support system!
