How does hope relate to faith?

Answered in 1 source

Hope is a future expectation based on faith, anchoring believers in the assurance of what God has promised.

Hope and faith are closely related in the Christian experience, with faith serving as the context through which hope is realized. Faith looks to Christ and believes in His finished work, while hope anticipates the future realization of God's promises. In Hebrews 11:1, hope is defined as 'the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' Genuine faith inspires and fuels hope, which acts as an anchor in the believer's life, ensuring they remain steadfast as they await the fulfillment of God's promises in eternity.
