Who was Noah? Was he a righteous man that God chose to build an ark, or a wicked man that God chose to redeem for His own purpose?
Noah
Darkness to Light
“If man’s will is so absolutely corrupt, and if man cannot see righteousness, and if he is unable to seek after God, then how can a person come to choose Christ?” These are good questions. The answer may not be so easy.
