“Now faith is the substance [hypostasis] of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1)
“[Jesus] Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his [God's] person (substance/hypostasis) .....” (Hebrews 1:3)
Jesus was the express image of God's substance (hypostasis) just as faith is the substance (hypostasis) of things to come.
It is a fruit of the Holy Spirit that is in itself evidence of what it represents as existing.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,” (Galatians 5:22)
A common example would be if you pray for a need. And the Holy Spirit develops faith in your heart, you know your answer or provision is on its way. Faith represents it and enables you to believe God is providing it.
