Acts 4:12
Jesus is Our Salvation, Our Only Salvation
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
Genesis 6:9-22
Noah, the Ark, and the Flood
9 This is the account of Noah and his family.
Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. 10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.
11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence.12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. 14 So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. 15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. 16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 17 I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. 18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. 21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”
22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him.
Salvation of an Ark and Salvation of Jesus...At the time the Ark provided a salvation of sorts...Outside the Ark was trouble and no salvation...Outside of Jesus and belief in Him is trouble and no salvation...While Jesus provides us complete salvation...
Salvation is found in no one else other than Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved...And God told us this about the Ark that Noah built, " I AM going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it...Everything on earth will perish...But I will establish My covenant with you, and you will enter the Ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you...You are to bring into the Ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you...Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive."...
It seems that just as the inside of the Ark that Noah built was also the only place for salvation in his time...So at one short period of time the Ark was a place of salvation and a way of being kept alive...All those outside the Ark were destroyed...But while the Ark provided safety and in a sense salvation, no one on the Ark was provided with eternal life...When Jesus came He was and is our salvation...Jesus is the only way for us to find salvation in this world and for eternal life...
