Resurrection Hope

Genesis 9 v 8 - 17

God made a covenant with Noah that never again would a flood wipe out all the inhabitants of the earth and if God makes a promise we can take it to heart. The first reason is that, if this wasn’t the case, our faith and our hope in Him would be in vain.

The other reason is that He would have to push the reset button every other generation, for man was, is and will always be wicked. God foreknew His plan of salvation, but for those who are bound to time and space, this plan unfolded slowly.

Starting in Genesis, continuing right through the Old Testament, we can see how God was at work to prepare the world for His first coming. There are many types of Jesus in the Old Testament as well as manifestations of Him. Perhaps something to talk about at a later stage.

The promised Messiah came at a time when the people expected someone who would save them from the hands of the Roman empire. Instead He came as an ordinary man, a suffering servant who would die at the hands of those who rejected Him as the only Son of God.

If you are in need of being saved from the dire situation you might find yourself in today, then call on the name of the One who came to gain victory over that which is keeping you from finding God. If you have been disappointed by men, you will not be disappointed when coming to the knowledge of the truth.

Just as God promised Noah and gave a sign for all to see, He promised a Messiah and although there were many signs to prove this, I believe the cross stands out just as it was prophesied… Take God at His word. He is consistent, reliable and trustworthy.

Approximately half of the prophesies in the bible have come to pass. Are you prepared to ignore the facts and take the chance to reject the Lords saving grace? Today is the day, if you hear His voice, do not ignore Him. Call on the Name of the Lord and be saved.
