Big Idea: Reverent Fear Of God Produces Radical Obedience To God
Even When I Can’t See:
1) Walk with God reverently (Hebrews 11:7; Genesis 6:5-22)
Reverence Reality Check:
1) Is my life filled with Gospel consistency? (Hebrews 11:7; Genesis 5:32; 6:8-9)
2) Am I discipling my family to walk with God? (Genesis 5:21-32; 6:9-10; 18)
3) Am I fearing God or fearing man? (Hebrews 11:7; Genesis 6:5-12)
“God preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness ... “
- 2 Peter 2:5
4) Am I truly grieved by my sin? (Hebrews 11:7, Genesis 6:5-7)
5) Am I doing the harder, right, God-honoring thing or the easier wrong thing? (Hebrews 11:7; Genesis 6:5-12)
2) Obey God wholeheartedly (Hebrews 11:7; Genesis 6:13-8:22)
3) Rest in God’s grace confidently (Hebrews 11:7; Genesis 8:20-9:17)
“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
– Hebrews 4:16
“But the Lord said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
– 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
