Our Ark is Jesus

Noah was allowed to escape the wrath of God because of the ark that was provided by God. We have been provided an ark as well. His name is Jesus Christ. Noah was found to be righteous in God’s sight. Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord (Gen 6:8). Gen 6:9 says Noah was a righteous man. Why was he righteous? Was he sinless? No, he was not. God said there has been only one sinless man. His name is Jesus. (Heb 4:15) (1 John 1:8-1-10)

Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Therefore, Noah was not sinless. Yet he found favor with God. We have found favor with God through our proclamation of Jesus as the Son of God. Noah was declared righteous by God because of his heart for God. Believers have been declared righteous by their declaration that Jesus is Lord!

As I board these magnificent flying machines, I am reminded of the majesty of God and the arrogance of man. We fly in a machine and proclaim that we can defy gravity. The actuality is that we cannot defy gravity. We can follow the laws of nature installed by God and propel an otherwise un-flyable plane across the skies. If the turbines in the plane stop, the law of gravity will take over.

This book is to remind us of the freedom in which He gives His children every day. This freedom can and does defy the laws of nature because God has promised the believer he or she can walk in the power of the Holy Spirit supplied to each believer according to His will. It uses those “vessels” that are willing to allow the freedom of God to work through him or her.
