On this date, June 10th, Margo underlined these verses, Ephesians 1: 11-14.
She double underlined verses 11 and 12:
"In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will, in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of His glory."
She single underlined verses 13 and fourteen:
"And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. 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."
Then, she underlined these sentences in the commentary:
"The Holy Spirit is God's guarantee to us that He will do what He has promised. He is like a down payment, a deposit, a validating signature on the contract. The presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives is our assurance of eternal life with all its blessings. His power at work in us now is transforming our lives, and is a taste of the total change we will experience in eternity."
..."Think on these things".
