Zmouth,
I don't understand your first question.
But as for the idea of being saved by hope, and how is it hope if it is seen...:
1. I was saved (saved from ignorance) by hope. Hope = confident assurance of an expected end.
2. My hope was OF something unseen (the answer to my question) and IN someone unseen (God).
3. My hope was based in faith (faith that God would keep his word...Matthew_21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. )
4. My faith was a living faith (faith mixed with the work or works) not a dead faith (faith without works) and the work needed in this case was clearly dictated by the promise "
ASK and ye shall receive"
5. In some ways it's not rocket science. I kept my end of the equation and God kept his.
6. Result = I received "the substance of the thing I hoped for, and the evidence of the things unseen" (see Hebrews 11:1)
Love in Jesus,
Kelby
