Like Noah

When Peter spoke of Noah and his family in the days of the flood, he said that “eight souls were saved by water.” He added that New Covenant baptism is the like figure to God’s deliverance of Noah by water. We, like Noah, are saved by water. Noah and his family were delivered from a world in rebellion. And baptism signifies and seals this very deliverance for Christians today. God’s covenant promises are always received by faith. And this is our confidence. This salvation, according to Peter, is “by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God (1 Peter 3:21-22).
