Hope

Today we often use the word "hope" in a
wavering or doubtful sort of way.
But not in the Bible.
The Greek word for "hope" in the New
Testament refers to an anticipation, a
positive expectation.

The same is true of the Hebrew word for
"hope" in the Old Testament.
In the Bible, "hope" is not a word of doubt,
but of confidence and that is how it is used
in Hebrew 11:1

So putting it all together; faith is the sub-
stance, the underlying reality, the title-deed
of things we are anticipating or expecting to
see.

This is Biblical faith, that is, the kind of faith
the Bible talks about.
It is the faith that comes by hearing the
Word of God, the faith that believes the
promises of God.
