1Pe 3:20 | MHM | STEP | v. 20 : The people in Noah's time were disobedient. God patiently waited for 120 years while Noah built the ark and preached righteousness. Even with all this warning, most people did not listen. Their bodies were drowned in the flood, and their souls were sent to a prison-like place (hell) (Matthew 5:25; 2 Peter 2:4,5 ). Only Noah and his family—eight people—were saved in the ark because they believed and obeyed.
