Have you ever had anything on Layaway? You take it up to a counter where you slowly place a payment on it and then it is yours. Have you ever placed a deposit on something? You choose what you want and then you place a deposit on it. The deposit states that it is yours and that you are going to take it.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22 States that God has placed an earnest deposit on us. He has sealed us with the Holy Spirit and paid the deposit. When Christ returns he will take what is His. That is you and me. Praise God for that. You see Jesus did not put us on Layaway. Layaway means that we do not actually belong to Him but rather he is slowly paying us off. The deposit means that God has paid the price for us. That price is the cross of Christ. Thank God for His love. He has assured us that He is there for us and that evidence is the Holy Spirit.
