Jesus said this was a faithless and perverse generation and that as it was in the days of Noah so it shall be in the day of the coming of the Son of Man. It doesn’t take much examination to come to the conclusion that these days in which we live are indeed wayward and capricious times.

After God created man and gave him the free will to choose for himself, the scripture says that “God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” This caused God to repent that he had ever created man, and it grieved him at His heart, which provoked God to destroy mankind … “but Noah found GRACE in the eyes of the Lord.”

Noah found favor with God because he had respect for, and revered the Lord. After being warned of God about the destruction that was about to come, Noah believed God! He took God at his word that a flood of water was about to destroy the earth. Even though he had never seen or heard of such a thing. His faith was sure in God’s word.

Noah acted on what the Lord told him and built an ark. He Obeyed God! And by doing so, he saved himself and his family. By following God’s instructions salvation came to Noah’s household. God’s desire is to save you and your household. By trusting and following God’s instructions for our lives through his Word, we are still being saved today!

Noah was not contaminated by his generation. He did not partake of the perversion of his day and therefore found grace with God. We are to be separated from the evil ways of mankind. Paul admonished us to “come out from among them,” and be a separated people set aside to be a holy people of God.

Noah taught us a lot about communion with God. To have faith in God, to keep ourselves from the contamination of this world, to trust God at his word, and to procure our salvation along with that of our households. I invite you to join us this Sunday at The Connnection Church of Arlington for a special communion service. Isn’t it time that we make sure that the ark is seaworthy for these trying times in which we live?  I hope to see you there. God Bless.
