CROOKED AND STRAIGHT
Reading: Hebrews 11:1-7
NATS: By faith, Noah ... prepared an ark to save his family (Hebrews 11:7)
NATS: By faith, Noah ... prepared an ark to save his family (Hebrews 11:7)
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, a famous preacher in the city of London, found that there is a principle in the life of Noah that "every act of faith to punish the world". "By faith, Noah ... moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became heir righteousness which is by faith" (Hebrews 11:7).
When interpreting the above verse, Spurgeon said, "Be holy .... I've heard that if there is a crooked stick and you want to show sebengkok what sticks, then you do not need to describe it at length. Place the a straight stick next the crooked stick. way you will instantly get the answer. Noah condemned the world and became heir righteousness by faith. "
The New Testament calls Noah as a "preacher of righteousness" (2 Peter 2:5), although none of the "sermon" it is written in the Bible. Perhaps Noah's obedience to God in making the ark that is the greatest testimony to the generation of self-centered and ruthless. "Just as God commanded him, so did he" (Gen. 6:22).
How easily we are tempted to criticize other people's sins committed. However, it would be much more remarkable if we choose to show the greatness and truth of God by living for Him - DCM
