God found favor with Noah and his family among the whole Earth. Eight souls. The exact number needed to establish a new diverse population. Noah was holy why his family was seperate and pure stock from which the savior could come and also He believed God he had saving faith.

But what was that faith? God calls us He justifies us by Jesus blood He sanctifies us by His word and He redeems us.

But how ok by grace through faith. Jesus said those who recieve Him are given the power the Holy Spirit to enable them to become the Sons of God as He is the pre eminent only begotten Son of God.

By faith Noah was justified He was holy (seperate) from the worlds ways and he was justified by His faith and believing God. Ok so?

How did He believe God James you got this one no one likes your epistle it seems to contridict Paul's but really not.

It's the key to understanding Paul's. to rightly divide the word be a workman studying to rightly divide the truth. Peters words scare twisting scripture the meanings scare.

Noah showed his faith as James would say by his works he warned no one listened he let God provide the wood food animals keep his family He built the Ark. Then the rains came and the rest perished.

So I ask what is faith. I have been weaned on formula, drank the milk, now I am chewing on some meat.

Faith is simply belief in God His Words believe on His Son Jesus are His works. But what does believe mean it means abide it means act.

Those say hey works added to faith us not faith correct. What they miss is what James was saying faith that leads to fruitful works of God is saving real faith. Belief is belief if you act.

Jesus said to watch He was coming back and commanded His servsnts to watch. He said to watch to wait to abide in His words that we may be found worthy to escape the wrath to come.

Who does the wrath fall on the unbelieving world and the servants those professing belief but not acting on it why?

Because they are beating their servants and partying with the drinken basically living just like everyone else while professing belief they are not being faithful to what they profess its a test.

Every word every action is being watched and judged by God.

People do not like to think this because why it would force a change in their actions. But the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.

People are worshiping in vain traditions handed down to them because their dads and family where blank they are blank.

No one almost no one thousand are I am sure are questioning what they do.

God said of the end times church they have a form of godliness without the power. The power is the active spirit of God directing them to do according to His will.  We are seeing churches run like business adding customers to cover the light bill and throwing Jesus in as the sales pitch.

We see the church becoming g the world not the world flocking to become like the early church.

Faith is putting your Jesus life jacket on. For me its been running up on deck seek g if the lifeboat seems ready running walking limping crawling crying back to the ballroom warning the ship is sinking put o by our lifejacket to hear you have been saying that for years the lights are on the music is playing stay here be warm.

Then I run back to the deck freeze and shiver go back find the lights flicker everyone stops then they come back on and the beat goes on.

I think of Lot at the gate I am frustrated sorrowfully trying to walk in my own flesh I feel tapping my feet to the beat as I warn and cinch my jacket tighter knowing I got to be in the ark to survive.

Jesus is the ark not the church not some doctrine not some boat of wood made with hands.

Please come on deck wait for the ark. Faith in action is saving faith ask James better ask Jesus.

Read the bible for yourselves in the spirit please!
