"The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth" (Genesis 6: 5) - This is great sin. "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord" (Genesis 6:8)
- This is even greater grace. God could have looked on the whole human
race , and said, "Enough is enough. That's us finished." He didn't do
this. He didn't give up on us. He kept on going - with His purpose of
grace, His plan of salvation. Beyond the flood, there was the new
beginning. God was doing a new thing. This was the work of His grace. It
had nothing to do with human righteousness. It had everything to do
with divine mercy - the saving grace of God. When you read about the
flood, look beyond the destruction - and see the salvation of God.
