A Hope That Won't Disappoint
Commentators unanimously agree that the phrase “hope putteth not to shame” means the Christian's hope is a guaranteed certainty, not a mere wish. Unlike worldly hopes that can fail and lead to disappointment, this hope in God's future glory is sure because it is founded on God Himself. This assurance provides believers with profound confidence and courage, especially during trials.
