Paul continues this Trinitarian passage with the work of the Spirit regarding the future. The Holy Spirit is God's guarantee of our full inheritance. The Christian in this life is being saved and sanctified but we are still sinful. It is certain that our salvation will be completed. The Holy Spirit lets us enjoy the inheritance now since a guarantee is of the same stuff as the full payment. God indwells His people now. When life is hard and temptations difficult, we can draw on the immeasurable wealth of His greatness.
