Noah’s life and work changed the age – his living and his work afforded God the cooperation He needs to change the age by bringing in the flood and judging that crooked and perverted generation. Noah lived by faith and built up his own salvation by believing God’s word and obeying God. Noah’s work, a […]
Working Out Our Own Salvation by Building Up Christ in Our Experience Day by Day
Before Noah started to build the ark, he was already walking with God – this means he was already righteous. Why did he need to still build the ark if he was already walking with God? This question also applies to all the genuine believers in Christ: since we are saved, why do we still […]
Walking with God by Faith and Working Together with God to Build Up the Ark Today
Noah was a pattern to us, walking and living by faith in God and working together with God to build the ark as his salvation from the crooked and perverted generation he lived in. As we all know it, faith does not originate from us – it is impossible for us as human beings to […]

No man has ever overcome death – the most powerful thing on this earth (besides God Himself) is death. But in Genesis we see that Enoch walked with God by faith, and he escaped death – he was raptured to God, never seeing death (see Gen. 5:22-24). Enoch obtained the testimony that he was well-pleasing […]
Calling on the Name of the Lord is our Spiritual Breathing in our Christian Life
Many believers (and unbelievers alike) have asked themselves, How can one live the Christian life? How can a man pray unceasingly? How can a human being be different and express God? Humanly, this is impossible. But because all the genuine believers in Christ have God’s divine life in them, it is possible. The way to […]
