A Settled Conviction
Paul's phrase "I am persuaded" is not a simple hope but a deep, settled conviction. Commentators note the original Greek implies "I stand convinced." This is a full assurance of faith, grounded not in personal feeling, but in the unchangeable nature of God's love and promises demonstrated in Christ. It is a certainty available to every believer.
