By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. Hebrews 11:7
In yesterday's message we saw how the number of instances of the word faith pointed to its importance in the New Testament. Included among those are the stories in Hebrews 11, such as the one about Noah we read today. That faith as a word did not occur many times in the Old Testament does not mean that active faith was not there. What Hebrews 11 points out to us is that while no one may have said, "faith" at a particular time, they showed faith in the Lord God by believing what He said and acting on it.
The word was there, and so was the Word!
