‘’Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.’’ Genesis 6:22 KJV   God is always specific when He gives you instructions. God was very specific in His instructions to Noah.

‘’Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.’’  Colossians 3:12-13 KJV   But it is important to know that we must allow this grace that we have enjoyed to be in motion.
