Why is the story of Noah significant to Christians today?

The significance of Noah's story for Christians today lies in its illustration of God's judgment and mercy. As Noah was called to build the ark and was saved from the flood, it parallels how believers are called to trust in Christ for their salvation from sin and judgment. In a world that reflects the wickedness during Noah's time, Christians are reminded that just as Noah was a vessel of God's grace, they too are called to be witnesses of His truth. The ark symbolizes Christ, who provides refuge for sinners, ensuring they are carried safely through judgment. This typology emphasizes the unwavering promise of God to save those who place their faith in Him, demonstrating that His mercy prevails over judgment (1 Peter 3:20-21).
