About the story of Noah, in his time, there were other people besides Noah and his family who believed in God. They believed in God but didn’t observe God’s law just as Adam did not. Didn’t God call Noah, “a righteous person?” He became perfect because He lived his life, obeying the law of God. As for his contemporaries, they believed in God but they took wives as they pleased, while keeping their faith merely as a means of some comfort. Their life and faith were superficial, so they were judged and destroyed.
The same goes for this generation, too. There are people who believe in God and Me, but they love anybody they choose; they live in the way they please; they discuss with people, make decisions and carry them out. They don’t abide by My law, so they frustrate My heart and provoke Me to anger. If they don’t repent, they will be judged. They will go to the domain of death, together with nonbelievers.
In this time too, whoever doesn’t perfectly believe in God and Me, and does not act on their faith, they will be judged. If they don’t repent of their sins completely, even if they believe, they don’t have salvation. In every age and time, it was the gentiles (those who don’t believe in God and/or the Lord) who were judged and went to hell because they didn’t believe in God and Me. As for the believers who were condemned and went to hell, they went there because they didn’t observe the laws of God and Me, and because, even though they believed, they didn’t believe absolutely. Instead they lived their lives as they pleased, and did not repent of their sins.
Your repentance is complete only if you truly repent with tears, resist sin even crying and gnashing your teeth, and live really keeping the law of God. You must comply with the law in order to bear the fruit of righteousness and of the Holy Spirit, and in order for Satan to be separated from you and unable to intervene in your lives. Everyone, repent of every little sin, and sin no more!
