When Noah, his family and all those that were with him in Ark, came out, the Bible says, he built an altar unto the Lord and offered a Burnt Offerings.
Genesis 8:21 NIV says;
"And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done."
The blood of all those animals killed by Noah made God to make a covenant with him not curse the earth again. To confirm that covenant, God set his rainbow in the cloud as a sign.
When Jesus Christ was killed, a greater covenant was fulfilled. That covenant was established well before the foundation of the earth. Now you a Christian, and also part of this greater covenant, have been marked out and protected from any curse which includes death.
This covenant is that:
You are under the protection of God, and have crossed from death to eternal life. God is faithful to His own word; because of what Jesus Christ has done, He will never forget or forsake you.
You are constantly under the eyes of God, so rejoice, and I say it again, rejoice! in Jesus Christ name, Amen!
