Our Security in Christ:
2Co 1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
2Co 1:21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
2Co 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
A earnest is an exchange of something of value, between two people. As the guarantee of a contract, until the final price is paid.
With a Christian this is the sealing with the gift of the Holy Spirit, until the final redemption of the body. A guarantee which cannot be voided, because the grantor is not a man; but God.
Jas_1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. :)
