Ep 55 – Hebrews 11:7

Today's episode is called "Flood Assurance" because it deals with the faith of Noah, the famous ark-builder, who is described in verse 7 of Hebrews 11. Noah's story is a powerful example of faith because it involved a salvation from death that would require some pretty significant steps of obedience in the face of overwhelmingly difficult and seemingly illogical demands by God. Noah's salvation required faith. But it wasn't his faith that saved him – it was God. Faith is the subject is the subject of this chapter, but God is the object. It was Noah's faith in God, not the ark, that saved him. In the face of God's looming judgment, Noah found mercy, grace, and refuge in the salvation provided by God.
