Genesis: Chapter 6

The Bible now turns its attention to Noah and to the destruction of the world.  The violence and evil we see in the world comes through us—people who have the ability to choose between doing right and wrong—as this is a characteristic that separates us from other creations (i.e., animals, vegetation, minerals, etc. don’t have the same ability to choose between doing right and wrong, like we do).

Genesis 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Sometimes in your life God may give you commandments that seem ridiculous to other people.  They may be ridiculous to them because they are not for them—God sometimes gives YOU SPECIAL commandments.  This is what separated Noah from others.  Genesis tells us that, “

Noah walked with God.”  

He had a personal relationship with God, in the way that it was intended to be and he followed God’s commandments.

Genesis 6:22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

This is the way you should live your life, according to how God commands you to live it.
