Faith...

...is God's gift to us that enables us to trust Him in the present; hope is faith that enables us to trust God for what is to come.  God's faithfulness in the past makes our hope of His promises of the glories to come in the future an absolutely sure hope.  Saints live in a settled hope and it is this settled hope that enables us to endure through and rejoice in the midst of suffering and trials.

1 Peter 1:13b - "Fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ."
