1 Peter 3 makes a connection between Christ’s work of salvation and the flood of Noah. In fact, he gets even more specific. He says that Christian baptism has a correspondence to the flood and to Noah’s family being saved through the waters. In this passage we learn that even as God was wiping away the seed of the serpent in the flood, he was also preserving for himself a community of worshipers, baptizing them, and remembering his created world.
