We believe God\u2019s Word is everlasting because God Himself is behind His Word.&nbsp; He guarantees His Word as He is never changing.&nbsp; God is true and so His Word is always true.&nbsp; God never wastes a single word.&nbsp; So the story of The Ark recorded in the Bible must have some lessons that we have to learn today.&nbsp; When I read the story, I astounded that our world is similar Noah\u2019s world.&nbsp; To be wise, we should learn from the past of how to live at present, otherwise we\u2019ll follow the same wrong footsteps of our previous generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are at least 8 lessons from The Ark.&nbsp;
