In the face of a world that had completely turned away from God, Noah remained faithful. God carried out His plan of salvation for Noah and his family, and judgement for the fallen world. Later, God provided a means of salvation for all of us through His Son, Jesus Christ. Are you living a life of obedience to God, even if it means being different from the world around you?
God is grieved by sin. In His justice, He must deal with sin, but through His great love for us, God set in motion His plan to save and redeem mankind. Through the line of Noah and his family, God's own Son, Jesus, would be born to take on our sin and save us from it's destructive power.
Just like Cain tried to hide his sin of killing his brother Abel from God, we often try hiding our sins too. But God already knows every sin that we've ever committed, and He still loves us. If we run toward God, confess our sins, and put our trust in Christ, we will have a right relationship with God forever.
God created people with the ability to choose to obey His Word and follow Him, or to follow their own desires into sin. Even in the midst of Adam and Eve's first sin, God's grace is revealed as His plan is revealed to save mankind through His Son, Jesus Christ.
We were created to be in community with one another. God created a woman, Eve, to be a fit for Adam and established the first marriage. In this union, man and woman compliment each other as they live out their God-given purpose for His glory.
God placed Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden to enjoy and be in relationship with Him. With the gift of freedom comes the responsibility of choice: will we choose to follow His direction, or will we put our own desires first?
For Father's Day, we look at two dads in the book of Genesis. Through their good moments and their bad, we can begin to understand the opportunity and responsibility we have as fathers to lead our families toward a deeper trust in God, our perfect Heavenly Father.
Do you struggle to find time to rest? On the seventh day of creation, God gave us the example of setting aside time to rest. And through Jesus, we can find a perfect rest as He says, "Come to me...and I will give you rest."
After creating all things, God gives mankind a specific task: to subdue the earth and have dominion over the animals. God gives us all work to do - are you working for His glory and for the good of His people?
God chose to make us different from the rest of His creation. It came with great responsibility, an opportunity to represent Him, and a capacity to have a relationship with Him unlike any other part of creation. We are made in the image of God: the Imago Dei.
