Hymn 21 – Tune 13:  Waiting for Deliverance  

·     As a result of the Fall the thoughts of people’s hearts became evil continually

·     There was one line of faithful believers who stayed loyal to God’s ways

·     God physically destroyed all the people in the world He had created, except for Noah and his household, but gave Noah the opportunity of a New Start

·     Jesus pointed out that the general way of the World will again diverge from God as the end of this World approaches, but there will be a faithful group that does continue to follow God (through His grace)

·     The flood was a type of Baptism, whereby our sins can be washed away

·     Entering into the Ark is a type of dwelling in God’s Spirit, following a life of obedience to God’s laws and commandments

·     Those in the Spirit (the Ark) will be saved wholly (in spirit and soul and body) until the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, at the end of this World order.
