Chaplains Corner
With Sgt. Michael M. King Sr.
Nothing indicated an approaching storm.
Still, since Noah believed God, he prepared for the
downpour God promised. His friends must have
mocked him, but he built an ark (Gen. 6).
Obedience is the cornerstone to our faith in God.
While Noah's obedience led to God's blessing and
reward, the disobedience of his contempories led to
their destruction. At the time of the flood, the
physical salvation of mankind fell to Noah and his
willingness to be used by God.
The ark merely foreshadowed the eternal salvation
from sin that is ours through Jesus Christ. Just
as Noah's faith saved him and his family, so our faith
saves us today. We are saved by grace and not by
good deeds. Building the ark did not bring Noah
any closer to the Lord but his obedience and faith in
God did. And it kept him safe and dry.
