“...what is confident of this thing, meaning?...”
Brenda/ Chicago, Illinois U.S.A.
Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Philippians 1:6 KJV
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:
Confidence:
Faith or belief that one will act in a right, proper, or effective way
Merriam-Webster.Com
Paul is saying, that The Lord Jesus, who has begun a good work in you (saving you and infilling you with His Holy Spirit), will continue to be with you, until the day of His appearing.
The people of God, must be confident (have faith) that our Lord's Spirit is with us and changing us into His image.
Romans 8:29 KJV
For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brethren.
1 Corinthians 15:49 KJV
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
II Corinthians 3:16-18 NLT
16 But whenever someone turns to The Lord, the veil is taken away.
17 For The Lord is The Spirit, and wherever The Spirit Of The Lord is, there is freedom.
18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of The Lord. And The Lord—who is The Spirit—makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image.
Colossians 3:10 KJV
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him:
Mark 11:22 KJV
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
John 6:28,29 KJV
28 Then said they unto Him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hat sent.
Hebrews 11:6 KJV
But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
Faith Is the Victory
Encamped along the hills of light,
Ye Christian soldiers, rise,
And press the battle ere the night
Shall veil the glowing skies.
Against the foe in vales below
Let all our strength be hurled;
Faith is the victory, we know,
That overcomes the world.
Refrain:
Faith is the victory!
Faith is the victory!
Oh, glorious victory,
That overcomes the world.
His banner over us is love,
Our sword The Word Of God;
We tread the road the saints above
With shouts of triumph trod.
By faith, they like a whirlwind’s breath,
Swept on o’er every field;
The faith by which they conquered death
Is still our shining shield.
On every hand the foe we find
Drawn up in dread array;
Let tents of ease be left behind,
And onward to the fray.
Salvation’s helmet on each head,
With truth all girt about,
The earth shall tremble ’neath our tread,
And echo with our shout.
To him that overcomes the foe,
White raiment shall be giv’n;
Before the angels He shall know
His name confessed in heav’n.
Then onward from the hills of light,
Our hearts with love aflame,
We’ll vanquish all the hosts of night,
In Jesus’ conqu’ring name.

Prayer:
Luke 17:5,6 KJV
5 And the apostles said unto The Lord, Increase our faith.
6 And The Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree (Mulberry tree NLT), Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
