In the days of Noah
As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
- Matthew 24:37
In the days of Noah, people were eating and drinking, violating their marriages, and participating in revelry, lawlessness, and lasciviousness.
When the rains began to fall and the ark shifted off its housing, Noah and his family were safe inside. As the floodwaters rose, the people outside the ark screamed for deliverance, but the door was closed.
Just as God provided one solitary way of escape for Noah and his family, He has provided one solitary way for those who turn to Him in these end times. "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).
Those who were saved in Noah's time were sealed in the ark by God Himself before the destruction came (Genesis 7:16). When the headlines proclaim an increase in violence and corruption you can know your redemption is close at hand.
As the church, we must be willing to proclaim the good news of the gospel for those who do not know. He is coming soon.
Are you doing everything you can to help others get to know the Lord today?
Lord Jesus, I know that Your will is for none to perish. Today give me your desire and your compassion to reach those that are lost. Let me be a witness of your powerful gospel. Let me be an agent of change today and forever. Amen.
