A God-Given Confidence
Paul's "good courage" isn't a fleeting emotion but a constant state of being. Commentators explain this confidence is not self-generated but is a direct result of God's work. It is rooted in the assurance of a future resurrection and eternal life with Christ, a promise guaranteed by the Holy Spirit dwelling within the believer. This hope allows Christians to face trials with cheerfulness and patience.
