Noah and the Flood
Ryan Weingartner
Hebrews 11:7
There is plausible historical and anthropological evidence to support the Biblical account that there was a worldwide flood that wiped out almost all people. Several New Testament passages help us understand the application of the event. First, we should prepare for Jesus' return, since, like the flood, it will happen unexpectedly. Second, as with the judgment of the flood, Jesus will judge when he returns. Third, just as God rescued Noah and his family, God offers us rescue from judgment through Jesus. Finally, we see Noah as a great example of faith in action.
