It hit me before I could even finish the thought.

I, while contemplating Noah’s radical obedience, began to think, “Wouldn’t it be great to know, in clarified detail, what I ought to be doing in obedience to Holy God? I mean, Noah had the plan….”

And then it hit me.

I have the plan, too! God has made Himself—His will, His way, and His work—known to me in His Word. Through the love and mercy of Christ, I’ve been brought in, and His Spirit makes that Word alive in my hearing. So, when I read (so long as I read), I know what to do!

(And it’s just as countercultural as building the first-ever boat before the first-ever rains in anticipation of the worst-to-date judgment.)

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and soul and strength, and live your neighborhood as yourself.

Repent, and believe the Evangelism.

Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them and teaching them to observe all that has been commanded.

Hear the Word, and act accordingly.

Will we, who know, do everything that the Lord has commanded?
