“Noah did not have a new life until he was out of the water.”
Noah was on the Ark. Why? Because God had already accepted him. He was right with God before the Ark was built, since he built it in response to God’s command. Noah was accepted by God long before the Flood!
**Noah was accepted by God long before the Flood!**
I guess he didn’t need to BUILD the ark after all since he was saved before the flood.
“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, PREPARED an ark to the SAVING of his house.....”. Heb. 11:7
Since we’re in Hebrews:
“By faith Abraham, when he was called to GO OUT into a place.......OBEYED..” 11:8
