PART B: What is the difference between HOPE and FAITH?

Hope means the belief and expectation that something wished for can or will happen. To hope means to expect or wish; to be optimistic. Faith, on the other hand, means to create a evidence of the thing you expect or wish or belief. Simply put, faith means to create an evidence of the thing you hope for or, to say it in another way, an evidence of your hope(Hebrews 11:1). That is simply the difference between hope and faith. Very simple but loaded analysis.
What kind of evidence? Faith is creating the word evidence of the thing you expect( that is the thing you hope for). This is what I'm saying. For example, you hope that the business you just embarked upon will prosper, will work out and succeed. Faith is now creating a word evidence of that hope(those expectations). What this means is that you find and look at what the word of God says about that business. When there are oppositions against that business and it's looking as if it won't work out, you are not perplexed or afraid, because you are only seeing(looking at) the word evidence about the prospect of the business. You are not looking at what is happening in the physical. You are looking at the word evidence(that is, what God says about the business). That is faith and this is why you must hear before faith. You must hear from God to do it before exercising faith that it will work. This is why Bible says faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word. You may have a paper word evidence which is the Bible or the spoken word evidence which is the voice of God which could either be heard by your ears or in your mind.
Hope melts away in the face of confrontations but faith does not die, because it is an offshoot of immortality which is God's word. The word of God lives forever. Bible says faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word. This is why I said faith is an offshoot of God's word.
Hope is short-lived but faith lasts long. Faith endures for long, but hope will fizzle out when it sees troubles. When the wind blows, the storms of life range and the enemies come in like a flood; hope will surrender and die but faith will still stand. Many of us have hope, not faith; though we claim the latter. That is why when we have some little problems or challenges, we begin to panic and start looking for help elsewhere. We start looking for alternatives, instead of fixing our eyes on Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
