The Holy Spirit is given to Christians as a guarantee (a deposit, earnest) of their inheritance.

A "guarantee" (deposit, earnest) is a pledge, a guarantee.

Rom. 8:1-17

We walk according to the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

The Spirit leads through the word (2 Tim. 3:16-17; Rom. 10:17; Rom. 1:16; Heb. 3:7). The result of being led by the Spirit is bearing the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:16-26; Eph. 5:9).

The Holy Spirit transforms Christians by the renewing of their minds (Rom. 12:1-2) in knowledge (Col. 3:10).

The Holy Spirit strengthens our inner man when we know the love of Christ.

Rom. 8:26-28

The Holy Spirit helps in our weaknesses; when we are unable to pray, the Spirit intercedes.

Rom. 8:1-13

The law of the Spirit of life frees us from the law of sin and death.

Eph. 2:18

We have access to God through Christ by the Holy Spirit.

Rom. 8:16-17

The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are sons of God.

The Spirit bears witness through the word (Heb. 10:15-17) and our spirit bears witness to our life. When both witnesses are compared, we are revealed to be children of God or children of the devil (cf. 1 Jn. 3:10).

First John was written that we may know that we have eternal life (1 Jn. 5:13). We compare our lives to God's word thus having the witness in ourselves (1 Jn. 5:10).

If we believe (1 Jn. 5:10), we keep God's commandments (1 Jn. 5:3). Thus, the witness within ourselves is that we have eternal life (1 Jn. 5:13).
