NOAH FINDS FAVOUR WITH GOD

 

NOAH FINDS FAVOUR WITH GOD

Passage: Genesis 6:1-22

Key verse: 9

 

1. The Lord was grieved (1-7)

When men of God compromised and married whomever they pleased, the

Lord’s Spirit was troubled, and he shortened man’s lifespan. The offspring of these

unions were heroic, but the spiritual consequence was a very wicked mankind in

which the inclination of man’s heart was evil all the time. The Lord was grieved at

this, and his heart was filled with pain. So he pronounced judgment on the world.

Marriage tests a person’s faith. People must bear this great blessing by choosing

to please God, not themselves.

 

2. Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord (8-22)

One man Noah found favor with God. He was righteous and blameless and

walked with God. Having shared with Noah his plan to judge the world by a flood,

God commanded Noah to build an ark and gave him the blueprint. Then God

made a covenant of grace with Noah to save his family, and through him, the

animal kingdom. Noah believed God and obeyed everything God commanded

him.

 

Prayer Lord, help me to find favor in your eyes and be a source of blessing to the

world.

One Word Find favor in God’s eyes
