Hope as the Foundation for Security

Commentators like John Gill and Charles Spurgeon explain that the security promised in this verse is not just a feeling, but a deep confidence rooted in a specific hope. This hope is not merely for better circumstances, but for God's mercy, salvation through Christ, and eternal life. As Gill notes, faith and hope support each other, with this firm hope providing the foundation for true rest and safety.
