            An earnest, like first fruits, gives assurance, or at
            least a high probability, that more is coming of the
            same kind; a pledge, like money deposited, affords
            security and ground of reliance for the future.

            saving his troops after Braddock's defeat; his
            fortitude and that of his soldiers during the winter
            at Valley Forge might rightly be considered a pledge
            of their ultimate triumph.

  Earnest
     The Spirit is the earnest of the believer's destined inheritance
     (2 Cor. 1:22; 5:5; Eph. 1:14). The word thus rendered is the
     same as that rendered "pledge" in Gen. 38:17-20; "indeed, the
     Hebrew word has simply passed into the Greek and Latin
     languages, probably through commercial dealings with the
     Phoenicians, the great trading people of ancient days.
     Originally it meant no more than a pledge; but in common usage
     it came to denote that particular kind of pledge which is a part
     of the full price of an article paid in advance; and as it is
     joined with the figure of a seal when applied to the Spirit, it
     seems to be used by Paul in this specific sense." The Spirit's
     gracious presence and working in believers is a foretaste to
     them of the blessedness of heaven. God is graciously pleased to
     give not only pledges but foretastes of future blessedness.
