What Is Hope Linked Too?

It Is Linked With Faith  (I Corinthians 13:13 and Hebrews 11:1)
I Corinthians 13:13
13  Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
Hebrews 11:1
1    Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.

It Is Linked With Trust  (Psalms 33:20-21 and Romans 15:13)
Psalms 33:20-21
20   We put our hope in the Lord.  He is our help and our shield.
21    In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
Romans 15:13
13   I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

It Is Linked With Expectation  (Romans 4:18-19 and Titus 1:2)
Romans 4:18-19
18   Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!”
19   And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb.
Titus 1:2
2    This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the world began.
