Noah's Faith Condemns the World - "A Preacher of Righteousness"


Besides building an ark, Noah sounded a warning and served God faithfully as "a preacher of righteousness."  But the people  "took no note until the flood came and swept them all away." - 2 PETER 2:5; MATTHEW 24:38, 39.

Given the spiritual and moral bankruptcy of those days, it is easy to see how Noah's family could have become the laughingstock of incredulous neighbors and the object of abuse and ridicule. People must have considered them to be crazy. However, Noah was successful in giving his household spiritual encouragement and support, for they never adopted the violent, immoral, defiant ways of their godless contemporaries.  By his speech and actions, which demonstrated his faith, Noah condemned the world of that time. - HEBREWS 11:78.
