What grieves God’s heart?

Well, apparently, as you run the numbers, Noah’s ark was built with a lot of extra room. Until the doors closed, anyone and everyone was encouraged to board but ultimately only Noah and his family did.

It’s a very interesting idea because 2 Peter 2:5 explicitly calls Noah “a preacher of righteousness” and what’s the point of preaching unless there was extra room on the ark?

So what grieves God’s heart? This episode digs deeper into “atsab” (עצב meaning ‘grieved’) in Genesis 6:6.

“And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.” (Genesis 6:6-ESV)

Genesis 6:6 – ו וינחם יהוה כי עשה את האדם בארץ ויתעצב אל לבו
