My God and My Country

The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the CorinthiansChapter 1 Verse 22
22 Who hath also sealed us, and hath given theearnest of the Spirit in our hearts. (a)
(a) Editor’s note - From the notations of the Geneva Bible Translation - “An earnest, is, whatsoever is given to confirm a promise.” That promise is of course would be the bringing forth of a Saviour who would redeem us from sin and death, and reconcile us to God the Father. Hence as we read the verses linked below in The Book of Isaiah Chapter 7. I would think then that an earnest is a sign.
