1. The only family on earth living for God! Surrounded by a wicked world!

2. A place of deliverance from the wicked world around them!

3. Noah and his family were delivered into a new world!

4. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit 1. We are united with Christ, with His death, burial and resurrection. 2. We are dead to sin and alive to God. 3. We have within us a righteous "inner man". 4. We receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. 5. We are in dead bodies which only the Spirit can make alive.

5. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit When our "old man" dies, it represents all that we were as sinners. We are righteous people trapped in the flesh that is dead (uncooperative), in a fallen world, and under attack from evil spiritual forces.

6. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit Our one hope in this situation is the power of the Holy Spirit to make our dead bodies alive.

7. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit Perfected forever in Christ! Inwardly righteous, but in "dead" bodies. Our hope? The power of the Spirit to give life to our "dead" bodies. In Eternity In Time

8. 1 Pet. 2:20-25 The example of Christ 1. He suffered unjustly 20-21 2. He didn't sin 22 3. He committed Himself to the One who judges righteously 23 4. He died to sin and lives for God 24

9. 1 Peter 2:18-25 1 Peter 3:15-18 1 Peter 3:21-4:1 Keep a good conscience and don't sin. Trust the One who judges righteously

10. In the safety of the ark, eight "souls" were saved from an evil world and into a new world. _________________________________________ We have been placed into the safety of the Holy Spirit and He can deliver our lives through suffering from an evil world and into a new world, the Kingdom.

12. Almost all of us have suffered wrongfully. Many of us have suffered because we are believers. When that happens, we need to look to the Spirit to give us grace to respond well. He can get us through it!
