We are experiencing a period of very heavy rain,with the result that many places are being affected by floods,fortunately not many have died. The Word of God tells us how God flooded the whole world,it was so severe that all the population of the world,with the exception of eight people drowned.(Genesis 6 v13 ) It was a one off event,God promised never to repeat it (Gen 8 v 21)The flood was a judgement on mankind for their sinfulness, Gen 6 v 5,reads,'The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth,and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.' There are exceptions to the rule,those who walk with God,as opposed to those who don't. there is no middle road.In the midst of the world about to be judged, we read,'But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord'.Gen 6 v 8. The word grace means, undeserved favour, something that cannot be earned,it is something that is freely given,and that's what saved Noah.Noah was a good man compare 6 v 9,let us remember even good people are sinners.( Romans 3 v 23). Like Enoch ,Noah walked with God, he was a godly man,the grace of God had touched his life,and so he walked in newness of life, all good men are not godly men, by the grace of God Noah was a godly man. We get saved by the grace of God through faith in Christ, and so our walk continues by the grace of God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
