Pitch Perfect

Genesis 6:14 (ESV Strong's)

Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.

Our salvation is worked out in our response and obedience to the Lord. He has provided the way to escape the waters of the world. Our work is believing the Lord and keeping His word. 

The word translated as “pitch” comes from the Hebrew word “h3722. כָּפַר ḵâp̱ar”, which means cover and is more usually translated as “atonement”. Our repentance cleanses and seals us in His mercy and grace. Our obedience to His word keeps us dry during our passage in this world. We are in Christ and He in us. 

Genesis 6:22

Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.
