Genesis 6 – The Wickedness of Man
After Noah was born God saw all that was happening
on earth. He saw the wickedness of man
and said he would not always strive with them because of their fleshly sins. He shortened their life span to 120 years. God
repented of having made man because of the evil intent of their hearts. He decided to destroy all that He created.
Noah was the only man on earth that found grace in God’s eyes. Noah walked with
God and was a just man, perfect in his generations, Noah had three sons, Shem,
Ham and Japheth at the age of 500. God
instructed Noah to build an ark and prepare for the upcoming destruction. The
Ark was to be made of Gopherwood.
300x50x30 cubits, three stories high.
It was to be covered with pitch inside and out. It was to have one window and one door. God told Noah how He was going to destroy the
earth by flood, but He made a promise to Noah that Noah, his wife, his sons and
their wives and of the living animals that Noah brings on the earth will
survive the flood. He was to bring two of each animal, male and female and
gather all the food he could gather and bring it into the ark. All
that God instructed Noah to do, he did.
One day we will all give account for the lives we live. Are we doing all that God has instructed us
to do? We live in an age that is just as
bad or worse than the days of Noah. We
have the same immoral issues now that they had back then. God is looking over us. He is measuring our thoughts and
intents. He alone is holding us
accountable for our actions and thoughts.
What will you say when you stand before Him?
