The interns from Truth in Love Ministry—Caleb and Noah—continue the Christ in the Old Testament series on the Witnessing Christ Podcast by turning to one of the most well-known stories in Scripture: Noah and the Flood. As Latter-day Saints study this section of the Old Testament, this episode walks alongside those readings to show how the story of Noah is ultimately about God’s grace and the righteousness that comes by faith in Christ.
In this episode, Caleb and Noah explore Genesis 6–9, addressing humanity’s deep corruption, God’s righteous judgment, and His merciful preservation of a remnant. They carefully unpack why Noah is described as “righteous” and “blameless,” showing from Scripture that Noah was not saved because of his obedience, but because of his faith in God’s promise. The ark itself becomes a powerful picture of salvation—God providing the means of rescue while shutting the door Himself.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why Scripture teaches that every human heart is corrupted by sin—including Noah’s.
- How Noah’s righteousness comes by faith, not works (Hebrews 11:7).
- The significance of God shutting Noah into the ark—judgment and grace at the same time.
- How the flood reveals God’s justice without undermining His mercy.
- Why God’s covenant with Noah is unilateral and grounded entirely in grace.
- How the rainbow points forward to Christ bearing God’s wrath in our place.
- Practical ways to discuss Noah, faith, and righteousness with LDS friends and family.
This episode reminds listeners that Noah’s story is not ultimately about human obedience, but about a faithful God who saves sinners by grace. Just as Noah trusted in God’s promise, Christians today are declared righteous through faith in Jesus Christ—the true ark of salvation who rescues us from judgment and brings us safely into God’s presence.
