What does it mean that faith is the substance of things hoped for?

Answered in 2 sources

It means faith gives a tangible reality to our hopes, making spiritual truths a present experience.

When we say that faith is the substance of things hoped for, it indicates that faith makes our spiritual expectations tangible. In practical terms, when believers exercise faith, they can grasp and experience the promises of God as realities in their lives. For instance, faith assures us of our salvation, the enduring presence of God, and the hope of eternal life. It is through faith that what is hoped for transcends mere wishful thinking and becomes a lived reality, influencing how we navigate life’s challenges with hope and confidence.
