Just Shut Up And Get On The Ark!

By David J. Stewart

Luke 17:27, “They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.”

Noah and his family were saved from the flood by getting on the ark, period. The ark is a symbol of salvation. They didn't have to amend their ways, promise to do better in the future, give up the world, make a commitment to Christ nor reform. No, they simply got on the ark before the door was shut and the rains began to fall. This is the simplicity of salvation which is in Christ Jesus.

What is the Biblical gospel?

1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”

So many religious scholars and pastors make salvation hard, but it's as simple as getting on the ark. Jesus died, was buried, and arose, paying for our sins with His own literal blood. A person simply needs to acknowledge their guilt of sin before God and believe on Jesus as the Christ to be saved. Salvation is as simple as getting on the ark.

John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
