“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.” (Hebrews 11:7)
When Noah was told to build an ark it had never rained on earth. The Bible says a mist watered the ground. (Genesis 2:6) For God to say a flood would come and destroy every living thing, including man, seemed far fetched to those living around Noah. But Noah believed God.
Noah took God’s warning seriously. People must take the Biblical warnings of God seriously today. The subjects of death, hell, heaven, the way to heaven, judgment and the second coming of Jesus are just as true today as they were when they were first spoken and written by holy men of God. Parents, notice these words: Noah believed God, was moved with fear, and prepared the ark for the saving of his family. Noah, his wife, his three sons and their wives were safe inside the ark, a type of Christ. The rest of the world outside the ark perished.
We should make sure our families are safe in Jesus. Take more seriously getting your family under the sound of the gospel than getting them to a concert or sports event. Good concerts and sporting events in themselves are not necessarily sinful. But, the rewards of introducing families to the Lord and showing them how to walk with Him are much greater than what they will receive from earthly pleasures.
