Best regards to the entire Steemit family.

I share a brief message of great relevance to the Christian community today. It is a topic of interest based on obedience as the cornerstone of our faith in God. We will take our brother Noah as an example of life. In Genesis 6: 22, we are told about the obedience of this great man of God.

And Noah did it; He did according to everything God commanded.

Nothing made one think that a storm was approaching. However, as Noah believed God, he prepared for the flood that God promised. Surely his friends made fun of him, but he built the ark (Gen 6: 9-22).

Obedience is the cornerstone of our faith in God. Just as Noah's obedience brought him the blessing and reward of God, the disobedience of his contemporaries led them to destruction. At the time of the flood, the physical salvation of mankind fell to Noah and his will to be used by God.

The ark simply anticipated the eternal salvation of sin, which is within our reach through Jesus Christ.
Just as Noah's faith saved him and his family, so our faith saves us today. We are saved by grace through faith, not by good works (Ephesians 2: 8-9). The construction of the ark did not bring Noah closer to God, but to his obedience and faith.
