NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses](Hebrews 11:1 AMPC).
Hope is usually in the future, something you long for or wish you had. It is an image or an image of a desired future; an image of future achievement, possession, or fulfillment. Faith, however is the essence of hope. In other words, until you wait, that picture or image is lifeless. That's why hope is so important.
Hope is powerful. When people lose hope, they may give up and die. But as soon as you hope, what you hope for suddenly becomes a possibility; you see that it exists.
Hope is like "potential energy"; meaning that it is a possibility that could be realized if you could "look" at it with your mind, for then it becomes real. Therefore, hope must be translated into faith in order to achieve results.
Hopefully you will see the blessings that can come from acting on God's word. But with faith you take possession, you walk in blessing. Hallelujah!
