Grow Into Christian Maturity

For 120 years, Noah labored faithfully, building the ark while warning the people of the coming flood. Yet instead of heeding his words, they laughed at him, mocked him, and tried in every way to shake his faith. But Noah stood firm, anchored in the word God had spoken.

At last, when the ark was finished, it was God Himself who shut the door. He knew that once judgment fell, Noah might be moved by the desperate cries outside. And when the waters began to rise, the people pleaded, wept, and called out, but the window of mercy had already closed.

Beloved, let this sink in. Scripture declares: “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of Man.” The return of our Lord Jesus will take place in an hour no one expects. The rapture of the saints will not wait for our convenience.

The only way to be counted worthy is to live ready, always, every day, every moment.

There are two kinds of faith: the kind that delivers you from hardship, and the kind that carries you through it. The second kind has another name and it is called patience.
