Lessons From Noah

One person really can make a difference.
Hebrews 11:7

Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked for us.

“One person can make a difference”

Genesis 6: 5-8
The LORD saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.  The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.  So the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move long the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.”  But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

Noah’s Words of Encouragement

 “Don’t be afraid to stand out in a crowd.

Proverbs 29: 25
Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.

“Don’t be afraid to do something for the first time.”

Hebrews 11:7
By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family.  By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

“When you see a rainbow, remember that one person can make a difference.

Matthew 28: 20 NLT
“And be sure of this:  I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

2 Peter 3: 6-9
By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.  By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the Day of Judgment and destruction of ungodly men…  The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.  He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
