Faith: The Substance of Things Hoped For

Good Morning World! Faith is the substance of the things that we hope for. That is a beautiful concept because it means that we are not simply hoping for hope's sake. The Word of God is the tangible substance in which we can believe. Jesus lets us know that although He is not seen, Holy Spirit is evidence that He is here. Since he's here, we can have hope. What are you hoping for? Have a great day!
