The events like the flood and the Pentecost had happened not only for the people who directly affected but for our learning and instructions down through the generations and ages. All things are occurring in time and eternity by the loving and infallible hands of God. So, we shall take a careful heed to what our God has demonstrated out of long-suffering and comfort. God does not leave us in darkness to find out a way out at best. God shines light into our hearts through the factual events and occurrences in our midst. Faithful servants like Moses, Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Paul, Peter. John, have recorded for us to understand how God has been shining the marvelous light of Jesus Christ the Lord out of the world. Gospel truly becomes the gospel for each of us when we personally accept the One who did all things for His glory. The gospel is Person, the Son of Man. Until the Person incarnates into our hearts the gospel remains only as knowledge. When we are truly and completely possessed by the Person of Jesus Christ we can finally be fulfilled and satisfied in full. That's what we are commissioned for dispensing and appropriating the mysteries of God at the proper time faithfully.
"For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. (Romans 15:4 NKJV)
"Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification. (Romans 4:23-25 NKJV)
"Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. (I Corinthians 10:6 NKJV)
