Important Benefits To Learn From Noahs Flood

By Janet Jones


At the time God called Noah to build the ark, he was already 480 years old. Noah did everything God asked him to do so today, he is celebrated by so many. There are a lot of things to learn from the account of Noahs flood. Here you shall see at least seven of them.

The first lesson to learn from this is the importance of obedience. Even though the flood was yet to come, Noah sprang up to duty as soon as the Lord gave the specifications. And after building the ark, Noah was also careful to take note of the animals God wanted to preserve and the way he wanted it. Even though this was not so easy for a man of his age, yet, his joy was to do all that God had commanded him.

To think that God will spare a sinner is to make a mistake. Some argue that it is impossible for God to allow evil to befall someone but this account proves them wrong. God is both a loving father and a righteous judge. His disapproval of evil makes it unbearable when he wants to punish disobedience.

Many people have been caught unawares by danger despite God's warning because He acts slowly sometimes. This is another example that debunks the idea. The people of Israel did not listen to Noah's advice probably because they thought that God had forgotten what He said. Whenever He makes a proclamation, it is good to take note of it as it will surely come to pass.

From the account, one can also see that God provides a way of escape when he is angry. Although he really meant to wipe out man for his inconsistencies, he still provided a way out for his salvation. This is why so many Christians in their worship refer to Him as a Father who is both fearful and loving.

Also, the story teaches that when you are with God, danger may be everywhere but it cannot affect you. This stresses the need for men to turn away from their sinful nature and cling to God. Anyone who has decided to be lord over his life without recognizing the control of God for himself should be aware that perilous times will come and they will not survive it if God does not show mercy.

Noah did not give consent to the mockery of those around him. He was determined to do everything that God had commanded him to do and he did it gladly. He believed every word that God said concerning the impending doom even though it had never happened before. He is also a man of faith like one of his fathers, Abraham.

Noah's account was written in the Bible, not just for knowledge sake. The lessons are rich and everyone who wants to take God seriously must follow them. If not for Noah, the entire human race would probably be history today but through him, God's purpose for creation was reactivated. It is therefore important to try to be different in any place you find yourself. If others are doing wrong, maintain your stance to follow Him as you may be the reason for their survival tomorrow.
