Key Verse

“And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.” Genesis 6:6

Text — Genesis 6:5-13

Message

After the fall of man, more and more people were being born and all sorts of evil and violence spread wherever people settled. When the Lord saw how wicked people had become and how evil their thoughts were, He was sorry He had made them. However, there was one good man and his family who believed in God. His name was Noah. The Lord was pleased with Noah. God decided to put an end to all the evil by wiping out the whole human race.

Sometimes we wonder why there is so much violence and hatred in the world and why does God allow wars, crime, and abuse. God is very sad to see the beautiful world He created corrupted by the people He made in His own image. His heart breaks to see those who cannot defend themselves being hurt. Yet, just as God gave Adam a choice between doing right and disobeying, God has given every person that same choice.

Since Adam sinned in the garden of Eden, every person in the world has been born in sin. Because we are sinful, we do not have a natural longing to do right and follow after God. Yet, the Lord patiently works in our lives, wanting to change our sinful hearts and make us pure. Do not continue to do things that make God sad. Repent and ask for cleansing of you heart by the blood of Jesus.
