Presentation transcript:

 Extremely important to study the Old Testament: Rom. 15:4; 1 Cor. 10:5-12  Today we will consider lessons we can learn from the great flood in the time of Noah.  Flood is not a myth! (Matt. 24:36-39),  Flood demonstrates the tragic spiritual condition into which people can slip (Gen. 6:5-7, 11-13, 17).  Can the spiritual condition of our present world be far behind? 3

 God never treats sin lightly: Rom. 8:5-8  Only a few were/will be saved: 1 Pet. 3:20; Matt. 7:13-14, 21  Do we take sin seriously? 1 Thess. 5:22; Rom. 12:9 4

 God has always given men chance after chance to repent: 2 Pet. 3:9  No one will be able to blame God if they are lost: Ezek. 33:11; Matt. 23:37  We can’t let God’s longsuffering lull us into procrastination concerning right living! 2 Pet. 3:9-12 5

 Most think they can continue in sin with impunity…not so: Rom. 6:1; Num. 32:23  God is longsuffering, but His patience ultimately runs out: Antediluvian world (Gen. 6-9) Antediluvian world (Gen. 6-9) Sodom & Gomorrah (Gen. 18) Sodom & Gomorrah (Gen. 18) The Jews (Matt. 23:31-39; 24; 27:25; Deut. 30:17-19) The Jews (Matt. 23:31-39; 24; 27:25; Deut. 30:17-19)  We cannot hide our sin from God: Heb. 4:11-13; Prov. 29:1 6

 How much longer will God give us opportunity to make our lives right with Him? Rom. 13:11; Jas. 4:14  Our last chance can come suddenly, without warning: Lk. 12:16-21; 2 Cor. 6:2  Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people: Matt. 16:26  Great gulf fixed: Lk. 16:19-31  One day all opportunities for salvation will be gone: Heb. 9:27; Matt. 25:1-13; Heb. 12:17 7

 God is love, but God is also just and exercises His wrath against sin: Gen. 6:7; Rom. 3:25-26; Heb. 10:29  Everyone who turns his back on God will pay a huge price: 2 Thess. 1:7-9  God can’t be fooled: Isa. 55:8-9; Rom. 11:33-34; 1 Cor. 1:20; 3:18-20; Gal. 6:7-8  God is fair: Deut. 32:4; Gen. 18:25; Gen. 6:3; 1 Pet. 3:19-20  Someday the severity of God will burst forth on an unrepentant world! Rev. 20:14 8

 Impossible for God to lie: Heb. 6:18; Num. 23:19  Thus, we can absolutely trust His word: Prov. 19:21; Matt. 24:35; e.g., Mk. 16:16  Most believe in “eternal life,” but not in “everlasting punishment”: Matt. 25:46  God fulfilled His promises to Noah and will fulfill His promises to mankind: 2 Pet. 3:1-10 9

 Noah knew the world was coming to an end and did something about it: Gen. 7:5; Heb. 11:7  Likewise, in view of judgment, God tells us to do something: 2 Pet. 3:11-12; Heb. 2:1-3  We must also do something for others: Acts 17:30-31; Ezek. 33:1-9  Noah did his job and so must we: 2 Pet. 2:5; Jer. 20:9; 2 Cor. 5:10-11a 10

 God hates sin,  God is longsuffering,  God’s patience can be exhausted,  No second chance,  The severity of God,  God’s promises are sure,  Noah did something. 11
