According to all that God commanded him

“Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.”

This is the second time in the Bible that God gave a command. The first command that God gave was to the man when God commanded him not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. When God gives a command, He offers a choice and the certainty of the consequences of that choice. In the fist command God gave the man a choice, that is, he was able to obey God and choose all the benefit of God’s love or reject God and all the benefits of His love. Without God, everything becomes random and arbitrary and nothing is certain, except the fact that things are going to change. Today this is called Chaos theory and the only thing certain about Chaos is that nothing is predictable. If something is moving in one direction then it will, at some unknown time, start moving in another direction and we cannot be certain when it will change direction again. However, Noah was put in the same position and he chose to accept the certainty of God’s love and did everything that God commanded him. The certainty of Noah’s choice was access to everlasting life. His choice preserved the Messianic line and the option for people to choose everlasting life and the certainty of God’s everlasting love. This goes to show that choice is not about salvation by works but believing God and then being the fruit of accepting the truth of God’s word and then seeing God’s word come truel
