The Ark of Salvation

All I Need to Know I Learned From Noah’s Ark

Noah lived in a WORLD that

had grown increasingly wicked and

godless.(Gen 6:5,11-12)

Noah, though a SINNER, in

comparison was a righteous man

and found GRACE in God’s eyes.

(Gen. 6:9, 22)

God revealed his plan to send JUDGMENT upon

the world. (Gen. 6:13)

GOD took the initiative to save

Noah and his family and

judge the rest. (Gen. 6:14-21)

God planned the ARK as a means of rescue from a great FLOOD for Noah’s

family.

God shut the DOOR of the ark, not

Noah. God was responsible for their

salvation. (Gen. 7:16)

God sent the flood at the right time.

God STEERED the ark; there was no rudder. God

controlled its path. Noah had

to trust God.

Salvation was by God’s GRACE,

received through FAITH. Noah

believed God’s words and acted in

obedience,

building the ark according to God’s

instructions. Noah acted to save

his entire family. (Gen. 7:5)

There was only one DOOR to the

ark. Only by entering through

the door was Noah’s family safe

from the flood’s destruction.

Inside the ark, they were safe. There

were the only ones who were saved.

(Gen. 6:17-18)

Those who were OUTSIDE the ark

died and were lost.

(Gen. 7:21-23)

Application:

God still judges SIN.

(Rom. 1:18-32)

He has revealed a coming judgment,

when Christ returns.

(2 Pet. 2:5-6; Rev. 20:11-15)

God displays His GRACE.

(Ephe. 2:6-8) Jesus Christ is our “ARK

of Salvation.”

He is the only way to be rescued from

God’s judgment. (John 14:6)

All who believe in Him will be SAVED.

(John 3:36)

Once God shuts the door, NO ONE else can

enter; it is too LATE.

(Lk. 13:25)
