Noah's Remarkable Faith

Noah is a man of remarkable faith, who found grace in the sight of God during one of the most vile, corrupt, wicked and violent periods of human history. I don't know about you, but I want to be prepared also to stand faithful to God in the midst of an even more perverse generation than Noah's.

Jesus says, "as in the days of Noah, so it shall be in the coming of the Son of Man."
- Matthew 24:37

"The earth was corrupt before God...filled with violence...all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth..." - Genesis 6:11-12

Noah, however, "did according to ALL that God commanded him." - Genesis 6:22

"By faith Noah, being warned of God of THINGS NOT SEEN AS YET, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house..." - Hebrews 11:7

Blessed are we who have not seen, and yet believe (John 20:29), for He is coming quickly and His reward is with Him (Revelation 22:12) !
