God wants us to have true faith in Him. According to Hebrews 11, faith is the substance of things hoped for. The word "hope" is also easily misunderstood because it means something entirely different today. Some people think of hope as luck, "I hope I pass this test." God's view of hope is certainty and confidence, a great expectation of what is to come. Having true faith in God means having a confidence that what He says is true, even though you don't see Him and you can't prove the future. Having a hope for a future with God is what drives believers to makes themselves more like Christ each day. You too have this eternal hope in Christ—and hopefully that does drive you!
"What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead." (Hebrews 11:1)
