The account of Noah and the Ark is an early example of God’s holiness, faithfulness, justice, mercy, and love. Noah believed God to be good and gracious, despite the destruction and the unknown that was before him. He trusted God and obeyed Him, even when it was hard to make sense of what was to come. And yet through it all, God proved to be a faithful, loving, and merciful God. We are here today because we are long descendants of Noah and his family.
