Genesis 6 · Grade 5

Grace in a Time of Judgment

Name Date

Read and Think

Genesis 6 shows how far sin had spread. The Lord saw that people's wickedness was great and that every intention of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. The earth was corrupt and filled with violence. In response, the Lord was grieved in His heart. God's judgment comes from His holiness, but it is not cold. He is deeply sorrowed by sin.

In the middle of this dark scene comes a bright verse: Noah found favor in Yahweh's eyes. Favor means grace, kindness that is given, not earned. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God. Hebrews 11:7 says Noah acted by faith, building the ark in reverent fear.

God told Noah to build an ark of gopher wood, about 450 feet long, with rooms, three decks, a door and a roof. God promised to establish His covenant with Noah. Noah, his family and pairs of every kind of animal would be kept alive. The chapter ends with a simple sentence of obedience: Noah did everything just as God commanded him.
