# Connecting Statement:
The author tells three things about faith in this brief introduction.
# Now
This word is used here to mark a break in the main teaching. Here the author starts to explain the meaning of "faith."
# faith is being sure of the things hoped for
This can be stated in active form. AT: "when we have faith, we are sure of the things we hope for" or "faith is what allows a person to confidently expect certain things"
# hoped for
Here this refers specifically to the sure promises of God, especially the certainty that all believers in Jesus will live with God forever in heaven.
# certain of things that are not seen
This can be stated in active form. AT: "that we still have not seen" or "that still have not happened" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
