I saw a meme recently. It said that grace didn't save Noah, obedience did.
Quite a mistaken understanding of grace. Grace did indeed save Noah. God told him to build the ark. Without the warning what of Noah? Naught.
The point of Noah's obedience was not to save himself but rather to pass the grace on to his family and to his posterity. Noah on the ark alone would have been pointless. The grace shared does indeed bless Noah but only shared grace blesses anyone. And the only greater blessing than the receipt of grace alone is the blessing that comes from passing it on.
Nothing I write in Continent Mormon can rightfully be understood without reflecting on this reality.
