We were riding down the road listening to a radio talk show in our area and they were discussing the movie Noah. From what the host said, there is a part of the film that has a man stow away on the ark in order to escape the coming flood. This is seen as the man desperately seeking to preserve his life.
Winston, rather astutely said, “Why would he have to stow away? Noah and God were begging people to get on the ark.”
God is always made out to be the bad guy. He’s an evil, vindictive, cruel creator who just wants to make people suffer.
All of the cruelty and suffering that goes on in the world is a result of the actions of man.
Noah preached for 120 years for men to repent and prepare for the coming flood. No one listened. They all mocked. I’m sure they blamed God as they gasped their last breath before drowning.
God does everything short of forcing men to make things right with Him. He is not willing that any should perish.
We need not stow away lest God find us and cast us out.
He is waiting patiently for us to notice how much He does to prove HIs love toward us. Waiting for us to walk right through an enormous open door.
