Safe in the Ark

 

D. L. Moody

The voice came down from heaven to Noah, “… Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.”  Noah was outside the ark, and in a short time he was inside; and by being inside he was saved.

 

As long as he was outside of the ark he was exposed to the wrath of God, just like the rest of the people. If he stayed out, and remained with them, he would have been swept away, as they were. It was not his righteousness; it was not his faith; nor his works that saved him.  It was the ark.

 

We do not, like Noah, have to be one hundred and twenty years in making an ark for our safety. God has provided an ark for us, and the question is, “Are you inside or outside this ark? Have you trusted Christ alone for your salvation?” If you have, then you are ‘saved’ and you are inside, and you are safe.  If you are not ‘saved’, then you are outside; and you are not safe.

 

 

“To be or not to be saved — that is the critical question.”
