How do we know that our hope in God is genuine?

Answered in 1 source

Our hope in God is genuine if it produces joy and peace as we trust in Him.

In Romans 15:13, joy and peace are described as blessings that accompany genuine hope. If our hope is firmly founded in God, it should lead to a deep-seated joy and a peace that transcends understanding. This assurance is not based on our efforts but is a work of the Holy Spirit, who fills our hearts and empowers our faith. Genuine hope reflects a trust in the promises of Scripture, and when we witness such spiritual fruit in our lives, it affirms the authenticity of our hope in God.
