Repent and Be Saved, Genesis 7
Repent and Be Saved (Genesis 7)
Genesis 7 records the fulfillment of God’s warning to Noah: the flood came, and with it God's judgment upon a rebellious world. For one hundred years, as the ark was built, it stood as a visible testimony—an open door of mercy and a warning of coming destruction. When God shut the door, the opportunity for salvation ended.
In this sermon, we examine three truths that shape our response to God’s coming judgment: God’s Word saves, God’s grace is now—but not forever, and God’s judgment is sure. Noah’s obedience demonstrated faith in God’s Word, and through that obedience, he and his family were delivered.
The flood points forward to a greater and final judgment. Just as only those who entered the ark were saved, so only those who are in Christ will escape the judgment to come. The gospel calls us not to delay but to repent and believe while the door of grace remains open.
