Hope is Cultivated, Not Passive
Commentators stress that the 'full assurance of hope' is not a mystical feeling that simply appears. It is the result of showing 'the same diligence' in holy living and faith throughout one's life. This confident hope is the fruit of a consistent, active Christian walk, balancing love for others with unwavering faith toward God.
