12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,
14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.
God’s plan is
in his way (vv. 11-12).
His plan is developing exactly as he

God’s plan is demonstrated by the
of the gospel (vv. 13-14).
It grows individually as people respond to the gospel (v. 13a).
Its growth is guaranteed by the gift of the Holy Spirit (vv. 13b-14).
