Did Noah go to heaven or hell?<\/p>\n\t
Noah is spoken of as a man of faith and righteousness.<\/p>\n
“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD<\/em>” (Genesis 6:9).<\/p>\n
““Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness,” says the Lord GOD<\/em>” (Ezekiel 14:14).<\/p>\n
“By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith<\/em>” (Hebrews 11:7).<\/p>\n
“And did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly<\/em>” (II Peter 2:5).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
These are descriptions of a person who was overall pleasing to God. We would expect such people to be saved and be welcomed into heaven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
