What is the difference between faith and hope

==> We should be like Abraham when all hope seems to be lost he still hoped.
(Romans 4:18)
who, CONTRARY to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.

==>Holy Spirit gives us hope (and not some strange visions)
 (Romans 15:13)
Now may the God of hope FILL YOU with all JOY and PEACE in believing, that you may abound in hope by the POWER OF THE Holy Spirit.

==> Gospel will be preached to every creature in some way.
 (Colossians 1:23)
if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to EVERY creature under heaven

==> Faiths shows by work, love shows by labor and hope by patience. Father speaks to us with EVERY WORD in His book.
 (1 Thessalonians 1:3)
remembering without ceasing your WORK of faith, LABOR of love, and PATIENCE of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father

==> God says here that Faith AND Love will protect you. But hope is for salvation and this means no one is saved before the end. But hope will protect your mind to stay clear from demonic influences and that is the Helmet.
 (1 Thessalonians 5:8)
But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the BREASTPLATE of faith and love, and as a HELMET the hope of salvation.

==> If you trust in LIVING God you will both labor and suffer but especially YOU as believer in living God will be saved. I interpret living God as "Do not rely on men, organizations or material things" You will be especially blessed WITH peace and joy (not material things or health).
(1 Timothy 4:10)
For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of ALL men, ESPECIALLY of those who believe.

==> Jesus was raised from the dead so that you can have faith and hope
(1 Peter 1:21)
who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

==> When Faith gets week and when hope is fading then Love will not fail and love will bring you back to faith and hope.
 (1 Corinthians 13:13)
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

My conclusion:
Faith shows by work and hope by patience and this is why there is so many demons to disturb our patience because it is directly connected to Faith.
An we all know who wants us to lose our Faith.
