Noah and Righteousness

Noah (Hebrews 11, verse 7) - believed that God would send rain even though he had never seen it before. Ezekiel refers to Job along with Noah and Daniel (Ezekiel 14:14,20) who show GREAT faith regardless of their circumstances. 14 "even if these three men—Noah, Daniel and Job—were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign LORD." 20 "as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in it, they could save neither son nor daughter. They would save only themselves by their righteousness." Unrighteous are those who are not saved (rejecting the conviction of the Holy Spirit to accept Christ). During Noah time (before Abraham and before the Jewish race began), Faith in God in all situations was important to God. Christ's definition of Beatitudes (Matthew 5) contradicts those who believe they are gods. We received the GIFT of Eternal Life and Eternal Kingdom through Jesus Christ. True happiness begins in our hearts, mourning over sin which leads to meekness. From the attitude of meekness, we hunger and thirst for righteousness. Through Jesus Christ, we can receive God's mercy and righteousness that our hearts will be pure. When we accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, the Holy Spirit came into our hearts and cleansed our sins and purified our hearts. Only God can provide happiness when we have Jesus Christ in our hearts and only Jesus Christ can give us true happiness. Happy are those who joyfully endure problems and trials because knowing God is teaching and leading us to where He want us to go. Enduring trials are part of a Christian's life. (Read: Romans 3 and James 1).
