Trust and Obey, Genesis 6:9-22
Trust and obey (Genesis 6:9-22)
Genesis 6:9–22 exposes the deep corruption of humanity in Noah’s day and the righteous judgment of God that follows. Yet within this dark backdrop shines the astonishing grace God showed toward Noah, whom He called to walk with Him and to obey His word.
In this sermon, we explore how Noah’s life provides a model for believers who desire to live faithfully in a world that often mirrors the rebellion of his generation. Noah’s righteousness was rooted not in self-effort but in God’s favor; his obedience flowed from trust in God’s sovereign plan.
As we reflect on Noah’s example, we are reminded that genuine faith is demonstrated not merely by profession but by a life shaped by the word of God. Obedience is not burdensome—it is the fruit of a heart transformed by grace.
May this message encourage you to walk with God, trust His word, and live obediently in every season of life.
