In what ways can we demonstrate faithfulness amidst a corrupt society like Noah? Foundational Verse Genesis 6:9 – “This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.” Key Observations from Genesis 6:9 • Righteous: standing in right relationship with God. • Blameless: morally whole, without mixture or compromise. • Walked with God: continuous fellowship marked by obedience. Pathways to Demonstrate Faithfulness in a Corrupt Society • Live with unwavering integrity – Psalm 1:1-3: delight in God’s law, refuse ungodly counsel. – Philippians 2:15: “shine as lights in the world” without grumbling or disputing. • Cultivate daily fellowship with God – Micah 6:8: “walk humbly with your God.” – Proverbs 3:5-6: trust, acknowledge Him, and expect His straight paths. • Obey even when it looks impractical – Hebrews 11:7: Noah “built an ark to save his family” by faith. – John 14:15: love for Christ expressed through obedience. • Stand firm though isolated – 2 Timothy 3:12-14: continue in what you have learned amid persecution. – 2 Peter 2:5: Noah, “a preacher of righteousness,” persisted though few listened. • Guard and guide your household – Joshua 24:15: “as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” – Ephesians 6:4: bring children up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. • Proclaim truth with both words and actions – Matthew 5:16: let good works glorify the Father. – 2 Peter 3:9-13: warn of coming judgment, point to the promise of a new heaven and earth. • Persevere, trusting God’s timing – Galatians 6:9: do not grow weary; harvest is coming. – James 5:7-8: be patient like the farmer awaiting precious fruit. Encouragement from the Greater Ark • 1 Peter 3:18-22 links Noah’s deliverance to Christ’s atoning work. • As Noah entered the ark, we enter Christ by faith and are kept safe until the final renewal (Revelation 21:1-5).
