Noah's Favor with God
8Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
9This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God. 10And Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and full of violence. 12And God looked upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt; for all living creatures on the earth had corrupted their ways.
Noah found favor, was righteous, blameless and walked with God. There are not many people throughout history that fit this description. Job is one that comes to mind.
Job 1:1There once was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. And this man was blameless and upright, fearing God and shunning evil.
Since we don’t fit this description, how can we find favor in the eyes of the Lord?
Luckily for us, we have a Savior we can call on! Accept His free gift of salvation and you too will find favor in the eyes of the Lord!
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
In the sight of God the earth was corrupt and full of violence. Death is coming to the earth in the form of a flood and only Noah and his family will survive because he found favor, was righteous and blameless and walked with God.
Will you be blameless?
Blessings, David
