Blessed Assurance
Genesis 9:8-17
Introduction:
Sometime when you're in an airport, observe the difference between passengers who hold confirmed tickets and those who are on standby.
The ones with confirmed tickets read newspapers, chat with their friends or sleep.
The ones on standby hang around the ticket counter, pace and smoke, smoke and pace.
The difference is caused by the confidence factor.
If you knew that in fifteen minutes you would have to stand in judgment before the Holy God and learn your eternal destiny, what would your reaction be?
Would you smoke and pace?
Would you say to yourself, "I don't know what God's going to say--will it be 'Welcome home, child,' or will it be 'Depart from me; I never knew you'?
Bill Hybels, Too Busy Not To Pray, IVP, p. 113.
Fortunately, we can have assurance concerning our eternal destiny.
If one has accepted Jesus as their savior they are eternally secure based upon the promise of God.
The message today is dealing with God’s promises.
They are sure and unchangeable.
They can be trusted, relied upon and can help us remove anxiety from life.
One such promise is the Covenant God established with Noah.
God’s Covenant with Noah is Unconditional
It is His Promise
Notice it says, “My Covenant.”
The contents of the covenant
God will not destroy the earth by a global flood again
This covenant is for man, animals, and the earth
It is His Doing
The emphasis on “I”
He establishes the covenant
“I establish,” vs. 9
“I will establish,” vs. 11 (Certainty)
God will do what He promised to do
It is Not Dependent upon Man
God knows man is sinful
This covenant cannot be broken because of man’s sinful behavior
God has Made Other Unconditional Promises
