HOPE
THE GREEK WORD (elpis ) "favorable and confident expectation" – Vines
"desire of some good with some expectation of obtaining it"
It has to do with the unseen and the future - Romans 8:24-25
"For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."
A simple definition: desire plus expectation of the unseen
