The ark is a wonderful picture of our salvation in Christ. The ark not only saved mankind, but also the creatures within it, just as Christ's [[death]] will one day deliver creation from the bondage of [[sin]]. The ark saved Noah and his family from [[judgment]]; Christ saves us from the wrath to come. There was only one way of salvation and that was through the door of the ark. Today there is only one way of salvation, and that is through Christ. Just as Noah went out of the ark, the head of a new creation with his family, Christ came out of the tomb, the Head of a New Creation, and the Father of a new family.

Chapter 6 deals with the flood and the [[faith]] of Noah. The fact of the flood is proved by the Genesis record, as well as by Christ ([[Matthew]] 24:37-39 and Luke 17:26), the prophets ([[Isaiah]] 54:9), and the apostles (I [[Peter]] 3:20). Man had become corrupt, the earth was filled with violence, and [[God]] had to destroy mankind. There must always be [[judgment]] and [[death]] before there can be a new beginning.
