Genesis: The Beginning
Noah and the Ark 1-10-16
READ: Genesis 6
Yesterday, we read about Cain’s choice that led to Abel’s murder. Today, we will read about the wickedness that led to Noah’s instruction from God to build an ark.
We seldom think about it, but our Scripture today brings it plainly to our attention; it is possible for God’s human creation to break His heart. In the days of Noah, evil behavior is so prevalent the LORD God is sorry He created the human race (vv. 5-6). Humanity, as a whole during this time, prefers sin, corruption, and violence. In other words, humanity becomes a false image of God not the Truth.
