Principles for Living for A New Beginning - Part 2

Journey to the Citadel

Key Steps for a fresh start

Genesis 6:17-21; 8:1-3

Despite the reason for the flood, God granted Noah grace.

After the flood, Noah’s family began a new beginning.

5 key steps to a new beginning.

Step 1 is to clear out the clutter.

Second step:

Cling to what produces life and sustains life.

1. Family -wife, sons, daughters-in-law
2. Two of every kind of fleshly creatures
3. Certain kind of food

Family is important because of its strong connection of kin.

A male and female of each life form needed to continue God’s production of life.

Food is necessary for life, specifically for healthy living. However, there is a more substantive good. God’s word (food) is extremely important for us to live. More importantly, in Gen 6:18, God offered to be Noah’s sustaining force.

For a year, all Noah has entering the Ark is the promise of God’s establishment of a covenant with Noah.

God does not give the particulars about the covenant to Noah until he reaches dry land.

Noah set off on their journey on an “I will” from God.

Whatever God does, whenever He does it, is going to be good.

In Gen 8:1, we are reminded that God kept his covenant with Noah. He simply said, “I remember “.

We are encouraged by knowing that God remembers us.

The Important thing is not that we know what God is going to do, but having faith and knowing that God remembers His covenant with us.

When you feel that God had forgotten us, take comfort in remembering that God remembers his covenant.

Through God’s divine grace, God does not remember our sins.

The most important thing is to be in covenant with God.
