The Door: The Ark and The Good News

10/7/2017

Why Did God Send the Flood?

The pre-Flood world was exceedingly wicked and filled with violence.
The Bible states that all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth.
God sent the global Flood to judge the evil world
while preserving Noah’s family and every kind of land animal. ​
The Door of The Ark
One of God’s specific instructions for Noah was to build a door in the side of the Ark.  Noah and his family entered this door to be saved from the Flood.  Everyone outside of the Ark perished.

What is Wrong with This World?
God created a perfect world, but our first parents, Adam and Eve chose to rebel against their holy Creator. Their sin brought suffering and death into creation and since all people are descendants of Adam, all have inherited a sin nature set against God.  Furthermore, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).  We live in a fallen, sin-cursed world where men love darkness rather than light.

Will God Judge the World Again?
The Bible states that God will judge this wicked world once again, but the next time it will be by fire. In fact, Jesus compared the days of His return to the days of Noah. People were caught unaware by the judgment because they were so focused on the things of this world, such as eating, drinking and marriage. Similarly, Peter prophesied that skeptics would come in the last days and would mock the Biblical teachings of Creation, the Flood and the coming Judgment. We see these things happening in our day and God always keeps His promises - Judgment will come.

Another Door
Noah’s family entered the Ark’s door to escape the physical destruction of the Flood.  God has provided another “door” to save people from the coming eternal Judgment.  Jesus Christ said, “I am the door of the sheep” (John 10:7).  In that culture the shepherd really was the door to the pen - they would rest in the entryway ensuring that the sheep would be kept safe.  Jesus, the Good Shepherd, is The Door through which we must enter to be saved from our sin.

The Substitute
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became a man, lived a sinless life and then willingly died on the Cross as a substitute. As man’s sin brought death, the Son of God died to redeem man from his sins.  Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, showing that He held power over death and demonstrating God’s acceptance of Christ’s payment for sin.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

Who Needs to Be Saved?
Since God is holy and just, He must judge sin. Each one of us deserves to face God’s justice, because we have broken His Laws.  If you stop and examine your own heart and life, you will recognize times where you have lied, stolen, coveted and failed to honour God as He deserves. On our own each of us stands condemned to suffer eternally because of our rebellion. We need someone to save us from God’s wrath.

How Can I Go Through This Door?
We cannot earn God’s forgiveness as man made religions teach - it is offered freely through the sacrificial death, burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. We receive God’s forgiveness only through faith in what Christ has accomplished. This means that we repent of our sins, trusting in Jesus and believing that He died for our sins and rose from the dead. In faith, we acknowledge our guilt before God and plead with our Creator to forgive us and save us from our sins.

“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart
that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9

Have You Entered the Door?
Have you placed your faith in Christ alone to save you from your sins?
If not, we urge you to turn from your sins (repent) and plead with God for His merciful forgiveness.
Enter the door of Salvation today.

"And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
.”
 Matthew 28: 18-20
