*Types and Antitypes – The Ark and the Church*
1 Peter 3:20-21
*Introduction:*
1.                   Do not let the title of our lesson confuse you.
a.                  Noah’s Ark: A type of the church
b.
The Bible is made up of two parts, an old covenant (Jews) and a new covenant (everyone today).
2.                   Many times you will read in the old covenant how God saved men and women on different occasions, and then you will read of similar ways in the new covenant how God saves men and women through His Son Jesus.
a.
Such is the case for our lesson today.
b.                  Read 1 Peter 3:18-22.
3.                   May I remind us that not to long after God created the world, the people who inhabited the Earth had become evil, and God decided to destroy all who inhabited the earth by a great flood.
a.
During this time one man found grace in the eyes of the Lord – Noah.
b.                  Noah was obedient to God, built the ark, and as a result, his immediate family was saved.
4.                   Peter explicitly informed us that the waters of the flood served as a picture of New Testament baptism.
a.
I believe if we will look even closer, we can see how the ark, itself, served as a picture, foreshadowing the church.
b.
In our lesson today, we want to compare the ark Noah built with the church Christ built.
*I.
**ONE SOURCE OF LIGHT*
 
A.
One Source of Light: One Window (Gen.
6:16).
1.                  "You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side.
You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks."
- Genesis 6:16.
2.                  The only source of light w~/in the whole ark was a window.
B.
One Source of Light: The Bible (Psalm 119:105,130).
1.                  "Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path." - Psalm 119:105.
2.
"The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple."
- Psalm 119:130.
a.
We only need one light – the Bible.
b.
Anything other spiritual guide will lead us astray.
*II.
**ONE ENTRANCE*
 
A.
One Entrance or Door (Gen.
6:16).
1.                  "You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side.
You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks."
- Genesis 6:16.
2.                  Only one way in and once the door was shut that was it.
B.
One Entrance: Christ, the Door (John 10:9).
1.                  "I am the door.
If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture."
- John 10:9.
2.                  Despite what many may say, Jesus is the only door, He is the only way to heaven.
*III.
**ONE FAMILY*
 
A.
One Family Inside (Gen.
7:1,7).
1.
Of everyone on the earth, only Noah, his wife, three sons and their wives would live past this disaster.
2.                  "Then the Lord said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation."
- Genesis 7:1.
3.                  "So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood."
- Genesis 7:7.
B.
One Family Inside (Galatians 3:28-29).
1.                  "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise."
- Galatians 3:28-29.
2.                  Through Christ, and in His church, there is only one family, God’s family.
a.
Those who have been obedient to the commands of Christ will be saved.
b.
Those who are not obedient to the commands of Christ will not be saved.
*IV.
**ONE ARK*
 
A.
One Ark, No Other Boats (Gen.
6:14).
1.                  "Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch." - Genesis 6:14.
2.                  Noah received direct commands from God.  God told him exactly what to build and how to build it.
B.
One Church, No Other Organizations (Eph.
1:22-23; 4:4).
1.                  "And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all." - Ephesians 1:22-23.
2.                  "There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;" - Ephesians 4:4.
a.
As you read through the NT you will not read of any denomination.
You will not read of many churches.
b.
We must get back to the Bible; it is very clear that there is only one church.
It is Jesus’ church purchased with His own blood (Acts 20:28).
c.
It is the kingdom that Jesus will hand back over to the Father when He comes again (1 Cor.15:24).
*V.
**SAVED BY*
 
A.
Saved By Water (1 Peter 3:20).
1.                  "Who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water."
- 1 Peter 3:20.
2.                  It wasn’t the water that saved Noah, it was his obedience to God’s commands that saved him.
B.
Saved By Baptism (1 Peter 3:21).
1.                  Similarly, it is not the waters of baptism that save us, it is obedience to God’s commands that saves us (obviously baptism must be ministered in order to receive salvation.
2.                  "There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ," - 1 Peter 3:21.
