“Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he” (Genesis 6:22).
Noah lived over 4,000 years ago, yet he is a wonderful example for us today. When Noah lived, he had probably never seen rain before, for the earth was likely watered by a mist from the earth itself, and had a fairly constant climate. The Bible does not mention seasons like summer and winter until after the flood. Yet when God told Noah that He would bring a flood of water upon the earth, a flood so big that it would destroy everything that breathed air, Noah believed God.
He built an ark, a job that must have taken him many years, and prepared everything according to what God had told him. He is a good example for us, for God has told us faithfully in His Word that judgment is coming on this world. Many do not believe it, and are going on carelessly. But if you and I believe God, then we will do what He tells us to do: we will prepare for the coming judgment by coming to Christ, and accepting Him as our Savior.
