In Matthew 24:37-39 Jesus confirmed that the Genesis account of Noah's Flood was a true historical account, and He used it as a picture and warning of a sudden future judgment coming upon the whole world (the Day of the Lord). He also said that just as God rescued the believers in Noah's day from judgment through Noah's Ark, so God will also provide salvation from the coming judgment for those who believe His Word and trust in His Ark of Salvation - Jesus Christ. Derek shares the many ways that Noah's Ark is a picture of Jesus Christ, showing how when we trust in Christ for salvation we enter into Christ and come under His atoning blood, and pass from judgment into new life. Just as Noah's Ark bore the floods of judgment, protecting those within, so Christ has borne the judgment we deserved and paid the penalty for our sins with his Blood. The only way of salvation from God's wrath is to be in the Ark. This typology was confirmed by Peter in 1Peter 3:20-21. Just as Noah, having passed through the Flood, entered into a new covenant with God, where God promised not to pour out His waters of wrath again, so in Christ we enter into a New Covenant of peace with God, where He promises never to be angry with us again (Isaiah 54:7-10). Just as God gave Noah the Rainbow as the sign that he is now under a covenant of grace, so now God's throne to believers is a throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16), and indeed God's throne in Heaven is surrounded by a Rainbow (Revelation 4:1-3), signifying God's multifaceted grace toward us.

Salvation. What is it? There is no gray area in that question in the Christian faith; there is no neutrality on this issue—we must have a position on this as Christians. And this is an area where I think holding on to our traditions interferes with a right relationship with God, today and in the future. Adherence to a list of dos and don'ts is not what God is looking for. It's not the "great salvation" He offers.

ONE THING: It isn't always easy but it is always better to do good for God. 1 Peter 2:18-21 Do good in the name of Jesus, to everyone. To better prepare and equip you more to face suffering. Where does our strength come from to endure suffering when doing good for God's glory? God, in your mind and Jesus, in your heart, He suffered too, for you. To endure suffering for doing good is a gracious thing in the sight of God. Since there is no escaping suffering this side of Heaven. How does God want us to respond when we suffer for doing good? Just like Jesus, with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control We are called in our suffering to endure and follow in the steps of Jesus. SALVATION: Jesus Christ lived a perfect, sin free life, He suffered, so that we might be saved by grace through faith from the wages of our sin which is death. Jesus Christ is the example of our response to suffering. LIKE HIM. Jesus Christ is the focus of our faith when we do good. IN HIS NAME. Jesus Christ is the destination when we do good. CLOSER TO HIM.
As my Christmas podcast, I suggest that Christmas be a celebration of the whole Plan of Salvation, including, of course, the role of Jesus Christ. Christmas is a time to appreciate the miracle that the Plan of Salvation works at all. Simply put, humans blunder and the consequences of those blunders occur throughout history. Besides human error, we have “Murphy’s Law” which states that “If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong”. The earth life part of the Plan of Salvation is extremely complex, involving millions of people who make mistakes and centuries of time for them to make those blunders. At this time of year, I am grateful for the efforts of those who have brought the Plan of Salvation to pass, and especially for Jesus Christ, who took on the role of our Savior.

GOD deeply loved His human creation that He gave His One of a kind and Only Son as the ransom to pay the penalty of the second death (Lesson 11) that man had earned as a result of his sin, his continual disobedience to the commands of GOD. (John 3:16-18)
Christ’s death and resurrection redeems us from sin and death allowing us to be reunited with God. He defeated sin and death upon that cross and gave us life through His resurrection. We believe that Christ descended, rose from the dead, and is alive forevermore.

2 Esdras 8:27 Regard not the wicked inventions of the heathen, but the desire of those that keep thy testimonies in afflictions. Judith 9:11 For thy power standeth not in multitude nor thy might in strong men: for thou art a God of the afflicted, an helper of the oppressed, an upholder of the weak, a protector of the forlorn, a saviour of them that are without hope.
Jesus is the only solution to heal our ills.
