Sometimes living by faith will make you come across as different. You may even appear weird to other people, just as Noah did. But as Hebrews 11:38 says, those who live by faith are the men and women of whom “the world was not worthy.” What makes the world not worthy of certain people? It’s when they live so high in the spiritual realm that those around them in the earthly realm often can’t understand what they’re doing or why. The world thinks they’re odd. They think they’ve lost their minds. They call them fanatics. Freaks. Or any other name people can come up with.
But the author of Hebrews reminds us the world, consisting of those who live according to the precepts of worldliness, is not worthy of those who truly live by faith. It’s not worthy of those who know how to function from a higher vantage point.
Those who live with an eternal perspective outwit, outplay and outlast those who don’t. That doesn’t mean they will always get their rewards while on earth, but in eternity, they will be richly rewarded. Faith gives us a future to look forward to.
What’s the best way to respond to people who don’t understand how your faith affects your life?

One of the questions that confuses many believers is the relationship between faith and works. The Bible teaches us that we are saved by grace, not by good works. And yet, the Bible calls us to do good works. How do those two truths fit together? And how does it affect the way we live? Join bestselling author Tony Evans, as he explores how faith and works fit together.
