Hope is the Target of Faith

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for..." Hebrews 11:1

Hope provides the divine blueprint for the future, while faith provides the present-day substance (hupostasis). You cannot have faith without hope, because faith must have something to lay hold of.

Hope looks forward into eternity and beholds the promises of God—the resurrection of the body, the return of Christ, the new heavens, and the new earth. Hope defines the target, and faith gives that future target weight and reality in your life right now.
