Obedience like Noah
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 is in keeping with faith.
Faith: “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1). Biblical faith is confidence and trust in God, and His promises.
Trust: The word “trust” implies confidence …. “we can put our confidence in the Lord because we know that He can be trusted.”
Obedience: Hearing the word of God and acting on it. It implies aligning our will to God's will; doing what God has asked us to do. It is when we completely surrender to His authority and base our decisions and our actions on His Word.
Romans 6:16: “Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?”
Life Application:
Have faith, put your trust in the Lord, and obey God.
1. Pray and LISTEN for the voice of God.
2. Obey God and give God control of your life.
3. Love God – Obey God – Serve God.

Genesis 6:22; Deuteronomy 13:4; 1 Peter 1:14;
