Jesus gradually prepared his disciples for their mission to spread the Gospel, emphasizing the importance of a vital experience with God before action. He instructed them to prioritize preaching to the lost sheep of Israel, relying on God’s provision and finding supportive individuals in each town. Despite the dangers and opposition they would face, Jesus reassured them of God’s presence and promised eternal reward for their faithfulness.Jesus sent his disciples out in pairs to preach the Gospel and heal, emphasizing the revolutionary nature of their mission. This strategy of evangelism, involving the disciples as representatives of Christ, was reiterated and expanded upon throughout Jesus’ ministry, culminating in the Great Commission. Christian disciples today are called to continue this work of world evangelism, not as an optional accessory, but as the heartbeat of their faith and the purpose of the church.

Noah’s ark and baptism are figures of salvation, illustrating death, burial, and resurrection. The Christian experience mirrors Noah’s, with a time of entering into Christ, a season of discovering depravity, and a period of sanctification. Ultimately, the believer finds rest, assurance, and a new world of righteousness, akin to Noah’s arrival on Ararat.

The text emphasizes the universality of human depravity, highlighting that every imagination and thought of man is evil from a young age. It draws from biblical passages, including Romans 3 and Psalm 51, to illustrate this point, noting that even the most righteous individuals, like David and Paul, grappled with their sinful nature. The text also references observations of primitive societies, suggesting that sin is a universal human condition, not limited to civilization.

The text argues that human nature is inherently sinful, evident in the behavior of all people, including children. It contends that while this depravity does not excuse sin, it provides a “loophole” for God’s mercy through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The author suggests that humanity’s fall in Adam, rather than individual sins, allows for salvation through a representative Savior.

The text explores the doctrine of the depravity of man, emphasizing the need for a new nature and regeneration through the Holy Spirit. It highlights the impossibility of entering Heaven without a transformed heart and the necessity of relying solely on Christ for salvation. The text concludes by emphasizing the importance of faith in Christ as the mark of a new heart and the work of the Holy Spirit.
