  4. NOT because he was sinless! (Rom.4:1-5) • He was just, blameless, & walked with God • Just = to be righteous (Titus 2:11-12) • Blameless = innocent, cannot be charged with wrongdoing (Titus 2:7-8; 2Pet.3:14) • Walked with God =persevere, continue (Eph.2:10) • 3 ways to walk with God (Eph.5:2,8,15) • In love for God -As children of light -Carefully But why was Noah spared?

  5. God told him about the coming flood & how to save himself from destruction(Gen.6:11-18) • Faith in what God told him = action Heb.11:7 • Today, God blesses us with the same favor • Tells of coming destruction & how to be saved • 2 Pet.3:1-13 How did this benefit Noah?

  6. If Noah deviated from God’s instructions would he have continued to receive grace? Obedience keeps us in good favor with God Rom.6:1-2, 15, 6, 16-18 2 Pet.2:4-9, 20-22 Heb.10:26 Conditions of God Grace

  7. Covenant = a promise of God • God’s promise to save Noah –Gen.6:18 • God’s promise to mankind –Gen.9:8-17 • God’s covenant with man today: • Based upon blood of Christ (Heb.12:22-24) • obedience to Him (Heb.12:25-29) • Guaranteed (Eph.1:13-14) • Incorruptible, undefiled, doesn’t fade, reserved (1Pet.1:3-5) Noah’s Covenant with God

  8. “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world…” (Heb.11:7) • God extends His grace to us today through the blood of Christ • We contact the blood through baptism–Rom.6:3-5 • Water is still essential to salvation -1Pet.3:18-21 Power of Water to Save & Destroy
