Hebrews 11:7
By faith Noah . . . moved with fear, prepared an ark. See
Genesis 6:13-22. When he was divinely warned of a coming deluge he
believed it, simply upon the word of God. Now observe how his faith
acted. (1) He was moved by fear; (2) he prepared the ark as God had
directed. His faith moved him to obedience.
By which he condemned the world. The example of his faith was a
rebuke to all who were not moved by it. The man who gives heed to God
by his conduct condemns those who refuse to heed him.
And became heir of righteousness. It was by the obedience of
faith that he became an heir of the blessings vouchsafed to those who
are counted righteous through faith. See Romans 1:5.
