1 Corinthians 13:13
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

What is the difference between Faith and Hope and as the song says, what's love got to do with it? More on love in a later entry.
Faith is the “substance” of things hoped for.  Clearly, faith has something that hope does not have. It has substance. It has evidence. It is a step beyond hope. An example might help understand this better.

Rev 3:17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.[l] Therefore be [m]zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ”

​In this message we have a comparison of the value of worldly riches and worldly success with the value of riches and success in the spiritual realm. In the natural, the church of Laodicea was very wealthy. Laodicea was a banking center. They minted coins and even refused the wealth of the Rome when their city needed to be rebuilt after an earthquake.
