John Gill

1697–1771

Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

Now the God of hope,.... This character is taken from the latter part of Rom 15:12, and is occasioned by it, "in him shall the Gentiles trust", or "hope"; and is proper to God as he is the author and giver of this grace; for naturally men are without it; that which is a good hope is the gift of God, and through his grace, and is wrought in the heart in regeneration; for to this are the children of God begotten again.

Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament (1755)

Now the God of hope - A glorious title of God, but till now unknown to the heathens; for their goddess Hope, like their other idols, was nothing; whose temple at Rome was burned by lightning. It was, indeed, built again not long after, but was again burned to the ground.

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Now the God of hope - The God who “inspires,” or “produces” the Christian hope. All joy and peace - Rom 14:17. If they were filled with this, there would be no strife and contention. In believing - The effect of believing is to produce this joy and peace. That ye may abound ... - That your hope may be steadfast and strong. Through the power ... - By means of the powerful operation of the Holy Spirit. It is by his power alone that the Christian has the hope of eternal life; see Eph 1:13-14; Rom 8:24.
