If you heard the story of Noah and the ark as a child, you may not have realized how intense and dark it actually is. God’s severity and kindness are both revealed.
Here’s a few key takeaways from the account of Noah:
- God is not indifferent to our sin- it grieves him
- Noah provides a great model for remaining faithful when those around you don’t believe
- Noah held onto the promises of God in the midst of uncertainty and God remembered him
If you read on after the flood waters receded, you’ll find a story that shows Noah’s sinful nature. The whole earth was “reset” yet sin remained.
Sometimes we think we just need another try to get things right, but the reality is we need a redeemer more than we need a reset.
