Transcript The Flood: Are you on the Boat?

Are you on the Boat?
Noah Finding
Grace
Gen.6:8-9 “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect
in his generations, and Noah walked with God.”
Gen.7:1 “And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house
into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this
generation.”
Did Noah earn the Grace of God by his conduct?
Grace: a willingness to bestow favor or mercy
on someone who has done nothing to merit it.
Grace is a free gift from God that cannot be
earned!
Grace and Faith
Heb.11:7 “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 the heir of the righteousness which is by faith.”
Heir—to inherit or possess.
Noah was able to inherit God’s Grace, His Righteousness, by his faith
God’s Grace is always contingent on our Faith!
God extended His Grace & Favor to Noah because of
his Faith.
Gen.6:22 “Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.”
Gen.7:5 “And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him.”
Gen.7:9 “There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the
female, as God had commanded Noah.”
Gen.7:16 “And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God
had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.”
Abraham Finding Grace
Rom.4:1-5 “What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath
found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before
God. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for
righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is
counted for righteousness.”
Abraham is given the
promise. Accepts the
promise with Faith
Abraham tells a lie to Pharaoh
“my wife is my sister”
Heb.11:8 “By Faith
Abraham, when he was
called to go out into a place
which he should after
receive for an inheritance,
obeyed; and he went out,
not knowing whither he
went.”

Gen.16:1-3
How do we find Grace?
Not by works
Rom.3:20-21 “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be
justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the
righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law
and the prophets;”
Rom.3:24 “Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption
that is in Christ Jesus:”
grace is a gift that we can never earn or deserve.
Rom.5:6-9 “For when we were yet without strength, in due time
Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous will one die: yet
peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God
commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be
saved from wrath through him.”
Grace through Faith
Rom.5:1-2 “ Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have
access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice
in hope of the glory of God.”
Eph.2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and
that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any
man should boast.”
We receive God’s grace not because of what we
do, but because of what Jesus Christ has done.
When we then put Faith in what Jesus Christ
has done, we then receive God’s grace.
True Faith will then lead us to obey God.
