What will hold believers until the redemption of the purchased possession?
The indwelling Holy Spirit, who is the down payment of the believer's inheritance, will hold believers until the redemption of the purchased possession. Believers are sealed or branded with the Holy Spirit of promise, and this Spirit secures them until that future redemption of the whole person—body, soul, and spirit.
Les teaches that God is looking for men and women who have experienced a genuine salvation and the indwelling Holy Spirit, so they do not need law to tell them what to do. He explains that the best part is still to come in Ephesians: believers have been sealed or branded with the Holy Spirit of promise. That indwelling Holy Spirit is the down payment of our inheritance and will hold us until the redemption of the purchased possession. Les clarifies that the purchased possession is not just the soul but the whole person—body, soul, and spirit.
