HOW TO BE PERFECT

This week’s portion of scripture details the global catastrophe of Noah’s flood.  There are so many lessons to be learned from this historical event that one could spend weeks just studying its powerful influence into all humanity. If you would like to follow along, the story is found in Genesis chapter six and following.  So, without further ado, let’s dive into the word and let the Spirit guide our way.

The details found within the story of Noah are like the foundation stones of a great castle. With them intact, the king can be firmly established. If they’re unstable, it’s just another kingdom bound to fall. The entire Bible is written with the Messiah in mind and with the intent of restoring mankind to perfect relationship with its Creator. The account of Noah is at the top of the list for telling the beautiful story of the gospel in riveting detail.

The entire world was changed due to this catastrophic global event. This article will focus on the validity of the flood.
