Hope Fuels Obedience
Commentators clarify that hope for salvation is not the reward for obedience, but its source. Scholars like John Gill and Matthew Henry explain that a genuine hope in God's salvation naturally "engages the heart" and "prompts" a person to follow His commands. This isn't about earning salvation, but about joyfully living out the reality of the salvation we hope for.
