Verse 19.
Which (Hope) we have as an Anchor of the Soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the Veil.
Which (Hope) we have as an Anchor of the Soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the Vail.
Having made mention of our Hope with respect unto the Promise of God, He adds an account of the use of that Hope in the course of our Faith and Obedience. And he leaves herein the metonymical signification of the word, returning unto that which is proper, namely, the Grace of Hope in us. But this he doth not absolutely, but as it includes its Object or the Promise laid hold upon by Faith. For he doth not expressly mention Hope it self, but includes it in the relative Article, and so respects not its self alone but its object also, which he had mentioned before, Hope as arising from, or caused by and fixed on the Promise of God. Wherefore the use of Hope as fixed on, and mixed with that Promise, securing our Interest therein, is that which he declares in this Verse. And three things are to be briefly spoken unto in the opening of these words. (1) The Nature of this Hope. (2) Its Use and Properties. (3) Its Operation and Effects. The first is included, the second expressed under a Natural, and the third under a Typical similitude.
