Ken Ham explains that Noah was a man of great faith who feared God, as evidenced by the fact that Hebrews 11 lists him in the “Hall of Faith.” Though the whole world had rebelled against God, Noah feared God and obeyed everything that God told him to. Even when perhaps he did not understand why he was building an ark and even though he and his family suffered from scoffing friends and relatives, he remained faithful to what God commanded him to do. As fathers and leaders of our own family, we ought to follow Noah’s example and lead our family in the ways of the Lord, no matter how difficult it may be or what people might say. Psalms 18:21 says, “For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.” When we fear truly God, we think less of ourselves and more on pleasing God and remaining obedient to His commands. Hebrews 13:6 (NKJV) – “So we can confidently say, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?’”

What should modern Christians learn from Noah? You know, when I think of Noah, I think of Hebrews 11, where he's listed there and you could call it that hall of fame, it's a hall of faith. Think of Noah. The whole world had rebelled against God. Only his family believed him.

Only his family went on the Ark and yet Noah was prepared to be a preacher of righteousness and to build that Ark and to do all that God commanded him to do. If Noah can build an Ark amidst all of that scoffing, I'm sure there was much scoffing at the time He was doing that, then surely we can do great things for God too.
