The flood story, read in context with The Creation and the Exodus stories, continue to challenge us to understand the story differently than the way that the world tells those same stories. That God sets before us the choice between life and death...hoping that we'd choose life.
So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
