[:en]The ancient Israelites always failed to do what God asked them to do. That’s why Moses told the people: “Be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you.. Walk in obedience to all that He has commanded you” (Deut. 5:33-33)
In the book of Genesis, “Noah did everything just as God commanded him” (6:22; 7:5, 9) He built an ark according to God’s specification. He brought into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female to keep them alive with him, two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground, and every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for the family (6:19-21). He went into the ark with his whole family (7:1). He took seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive. (7:2-3). He followed all the instructions of God and he and his family were saved.
God told us to “Walk in the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess” (Deut. 5:33) Are you following Him in obedience to His will?[:]
