![“According to all that God commanded [Noah], so he did. Noah did “according to all that God commanded him, so he did” (Genesis 6:22). Therein lies the key and secret to Noah’s faith.

He was a man who took God at His word.” quote by David Jeremiah](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e4a/david-jeremiah-990_quote_according-to-all-that-god-commanded-noah_2061384.jpg)
