(Php 1:6) “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” The word, “confident”, there, means “fully convinced.” By what? By the many promises of God Who cannot lie nor fail! He is not “hopeful” as we today use that word. No, those who are truly saved will arrive in the next life as surely as Jesus is alive today! That “good work” of salvation is an accomplished fact!
