The Line of Life with Noah— the Life and Work That Change the Age

THE EXTRACT OF THE OUTLINES

Scripture reading:

Gen. 6:8 But Noah found favor in the sight of Jehovah.

Gen. 6:9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man: blameless in his generations; and Noah walked with God.

I. Noah believed in God, walked with God, pleased God, and enjoyed all that God is—Gen. 6:8: (Monday)

A. Satan corrupted man to the uttermost, and God decided to destroy the man whom He had created for His own purpose—Gen. 6:5.

B. But Noah indicated a sovereign factor that afforded God a way to continue to carry out His original purpose toward man—Gen. 6:8.

C. Through Noah’s life and work, God overcame His enemy and turned the age—Gen. 6:8.

II. Noah’s life was a life that changed the age—Phil. 1:19-21: (Tuesday)

A. A life that changes the age is a life that inherits the way of the godliness of the forefathers—Gen. 3:15; 4:4; 5:22-24:

1. Noah inherited Adam’s way of salvation by receiving the promise of Christ as the descendant of the woman and by receiving Christ as the covering of righteousness for God’s satisfaction—Gen. 3:15, 20-21; Isa. 12:2.

2. Noah inherited Enoch’s way of walking with God, which is to take God as our center and everything and to live and do all things according to God and with God—Gen. 5:22-24; Heb. 11:5-6.

————————————————————————

B. God showed Noah the real situation of the corrupt age in which he was living—Gen. 6:3, 5, 11, 13; Matt. 24:37-39. (Wednesday & Thursday)

C. But Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah; grace is God Himself, God’s presence, for us to enjoy and to be our everything and to do everything in us, through us, and for us; by the power of grace, the strength of grace, and the life of grace, we can be right with God and with one another; grace issues in righteousness—Gen. 6:8; Heb. 11:7; Rom. 5:17, 21.

————————————————————————

III. Noah’s work was a work that changed the age—1 Cor. 3:9; 2 Cor. 6:1: (Friday)

A. God gave Noah an all-inclusive revelation, a further revelation, a revelation concerning the building of the ark, which was God’s way to end the corrupt generation and bring in a new age—Heb. 11:7; Gen. 6:14:

1. The ark is a type of Christ, not only of the individual Christ but also of the corporate Christ, the church, which is the Body of Christ and the new one, to be ultimately consummated in the New Jerusalem—1 Pet. 3:20-21; Matt. 16:18; Rev. 21:2.

2. The building of the ark typifies the building of the corporate Christ by the co-workers of God with the rich elements of Christ as the materials—1 Cor. 3:9-12; Eph. 4:12; 2:22.

————————————————————————

B. By building up the church and entering into the church life, we will be saved from God’s judgment by the great tribulation upon today’s evil generation and will be separated from that generation and ushered into a new age, the age of the Millennium—Heb. 11:7; Matt. 24:37-39; Luke 17:26-27.
