Unfortunately, people often confuse faith and works. As a result, many Christians don’t live by faith, which has the accompaniment of works. Rather, they live by sight while calling it faith. They say they trust God. They wait on Him for every move. They resign themselves to living without movement or momentum, expecting God to do everything for them. Yet while God did everything for you and me through the gift of salvation, He expects us to do the work of faith—made manifest by obedience to Him throughout our lives.
Faith is so powerful that it can flip the natural order of things. In Hebrews 11:35 we read that “women received back their dead by resurrection.” This is referring to those who were brought back to life by Elijah and Elisha. Yet, you and I will never get to see God flip the order of things in our lives if we continue to view life through the lens of this world’s perspective.
Living by faith means acting before you see the result you desire. When you do, you get to experience God reversing things in your life that are humanly impossible to reverse.
How have you seen God “flip” the natural order of things through faith?

About this Plan
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.
