Earnest in verse 14 means guarantee. Gods name is on the line to KEEP you from losing your salvation if you have genuine Faith in Jesus. True believers will continue to walk with God.
Ephesians 1:11-14
King James Version
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
