purchased possession” (Eph. 1:14). The Greek word peripoiēseōs (“purchased possession”) is a noun based on the verb peripoieō (“to purchase”). Paul used this term to describe Christ’s purchase of the church of God with His blood (Acts 20:28). Ninth, our understanding of the blessed truth that the Holy Spirit is God’s guarantee to us should cause us to praise the glory of His grace (Eph. 1:14). God is truth; therefore He would never lie about the secure position of our personal salvation.
