God's Remembrance - Our Assurance

A person's assurance of salvation can never ultimately rest upon what they have done, but must always rest in the primary sense, upon what Christ has done for them in His death, and His righteousness being accepted before God, and their trusting alone in that. When we trust in God, we are confident in His promise of salvation, that He will remember us. In verse 1 it says, “Then God remembered Noah.” God remembering Noah, and his household and all the animals with him, shows us His faithfulness to remember all His Elect people to do them good, and to give them assurance, when they think that perhaps He has forgotten them. So the question we want to ask this morning is this. “In what ways does God remember Noah so that he is convinced of God's faithful and loving care towards him as a believer?” God remembers Noah and all His Elect people by giving them assurance, and showing His love to them, in the following ways.
