Those who are begotten to a new and spiritual life are begotten to a new and spiritual hope. . . . The hope of eternal life in a true Christian is a hope that keeps him alive, quickens him, supports him, and conducts him to heaven. Hope invigorates and spirits up the soul to action, to patience, to fortitude, and perseverance to the end.
From Matthew Henry’s “Commentary on the Whole Bible”
