How does hope connect to faith in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Hope in Christianity is grounded in faith and is a confident expectation of God's promises.

In the Christian framework, hope is intrinsically linked to faith and is dependent upon it. Without a belief in Jesus Christ as the sole Savior, hope becomes ungrounded and illusory. The biblical definition of hope is not mere wishful thinking but a firm assurance built upon the truth of God's promises (Hebrews 11:1). The Spirit's work to instill faith in believers must precede genuine hope; thus, a believer's hope flourishes where there is true faith. This underscores the holistic nature of salvation, where faith, hope, and love operate together to form the essence of the Christian life.
