bulletFrom the Geneva Notes.
bullet"...all those things (which he brings to two heads, that is, faith and charity) are increased in us by certain degrees, so that we must desire an increase of his grace, from whom we have the beginning, and from whom we hope for the end."
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary.
bullet"God has laid up spiritual blessings for us in his Son the Lord Jesus; but requires us to draw them out and fetch them in by prayer."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"The sealing seems to imply, 1. a full impression of the image of God on their souls. 2. a full assurance of receiving all the promises, whether relating to time or eternity."
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bullet"The Spirit, like a seal, impresses on the soul at regeneration the image of our Father. The "sealing" by the Holy Spirit is spoken of as past once for all."
bulletFrom The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
bullet"The 'earnest' money was a small part of the purchase money given in hand to bind the bargain. Paul says that the Holy Spirit given to God's children is such earnest of the inheritance that he will bestow, a small part given now as a proof to his adopted children."

bullet"The Calling and Design of the Church: A Study in Ephesians," by Lehman Strauss at the Biblical Studies Foundation.
