Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast. A daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Ark of Salvation Inspired not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly, 2 Peter 2, 5. Noah and his family were spared from the flood waters, engulfing an entire world that had been engaged in continuous evil. Genesis 6.5 says, "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth." Noah surely preached a message of coming judgment and promised salvation before the flood. Just imagine him calling for repentance and offering free passage and protection on the ark, while the football field-sized barge towered behind him, the only hope of being spared from God's wrath. But only Noah's family of eight chose to board the ark. God closed the door and millions outside the protection of this vessel perished in the surging waters and wrathful forces that destroyed every living land creature on earth except the ones preserved within the ark. Peter describes this historic event as a picture of someone who is spared from God's wrath by finding salvation in Christ. When one repents and places faith in Jesus, our Savior becomes a personal ark through which one is rescued. Believers are protected from the condemning consequences of all the sins they commit in life. As Paul expounds, much more than being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his son, much more being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
