PICTURES OF SALVATION

Genesis 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

God provided a way to escape from judgment. The ark that God provided was a beautiful picture of the provisions made by God through Jesus Christ. The ark was big enough to hold all who would come in. The servants of God invited everyone they could to come into the ark. The ark had only one door, Jesus Christ said that He is the door into heaven, and that He is the only way into heaven. There is only one door to salvation. There was only one window in the ark. As a picture of salvation, the purpose of the window was to look up. Jesus said He would draw men to the Father, therefore, pointing their focus UP to heaven, and God the father. The ark was a bastion of safety from the troubles and the destruction of the World, Jesus is our saftey, and our strong tower. The ark was lifted up by the forces of the world, and being lifted up saved the people who would come in from the effects of sin. Jesus was lifted up one day, on a hill called Mount Calvary, so that anyone who GETS IN may be saved from sin. The ark came to rest on a place of blessing. In the end of this thing, we will all be settled safely, BY OUR ARK (JESUS CHRIST), in that place of blessing (heaven) to forever be SAVED from sin. Hallelujah!!
