Are You Living in Christ?

Does He have all of your heart, or just a section of it? Do you walk with Him, like Noah? Or would those closest to you say you only act as if you are walking with Him? Do you flee sexual temptation, as Noah did? Or do you go along quietly with a dishonest deal at work?
 
If you’re halfway in the ark, that’s not going to cut it. Noah didn’t go into the ark halfway. He went in completely.
 
It’s time to get in the ark or get out.
 
In the time of judgment, the only place to be is in the ark.
 
When the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, every single home within a distance of one mile from ground zero was destroyed and nearly vaporized. Except one. Just eight blocks from ground zero, one house stood virtually untouched. Scientists came and looked in amazement for an explanation. But they couldn’t find one. The reason they couldn’t find an explanation is that they were looking for a physical reason as to why the house wasn’t destroyed. They should have looked for a spiritual reason.
 
It was the only house for miles occupied by Christians.
 
That small little house became an ark in the midst of an atomic judgment.
 
The blood of Jesus was over the door of that house as much as the blood of the lamb was over the doorposts in Egypt (Ex. 12).

Whenever the blood of Christ is over a house, that house becomes an ark. A mud hut in the Philippines, a cardboard house in the slums of Central America, government housing in inner-city Chicago, or a two-story house in the suburbs—they all can be turned into arks.
 
The ark is Jesus.
 
If judgment is coming, get in the ark.

If judgment is coming, get under the blood.
 
There is no safety or hope outside the ark.
 
But for those inside the ark, hope knows no boundaries or limits.
