THE PROMISE

THE PROMISE


Just as the Lord's faithfulness to
Noah brought hope of newness and

Life, this same kind of newness is his
Promise to you and me, the promise

Is the Son...and the promise Is sure
Through the power of the Spirit.

Hebrews 11:7 -- Noah was another who trusted God. When he heard God’s warning about the future, Noah believed him even though there was then no sign of a flood, and wasting no time, he built the ark and saved his family. Noah’s belief in God was in direct contrast to the sin and disbelief of the rest of the world—which refused to obey—and because of his faith he became one of those whom God has accepted.

1 Peter 3:18-20 -- For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
