Genesis 6-9 As the book of beginnings continues, we are introduced to Noah and given the account of the flood. Human sin increases and demands judgment from God. The sin of mankind was great on the earth, as it is now. Judgment was and is necessary. Even in judgment, God offers deliverance - God offers grace to Noah and his family. Human sin always demands judgment, and it is God alone that can provide deliverance, for Noah through the Ark, for us today through Jesus. Faith in the word of God, believing and following the instruction of God is essential. You, just as Noah did, must hear and obey the words of God in order to experience his offer of deliverance. Sin always demands judgment, but God provides deliverance for you through Jesus. 

Genesis is a book of new beginnings. It offers the origins of the universe, the atmosphere, the human race, language, culture, marriage, language, order, time, worship, and a chosen people. Genesis focuses on God as creator and sustainer of all things. Genesis introduces the patriarchs of Israel and the promises made to them by God. Genesis demonstrates throughout that God has spoken, spoken in creation, spoken in blessing humanity, spoken even in the curses and judgment because of sin and evil of humanity. Genesis is focused on the communication of God with humanity, communication that presents the truths of God, about himself and his world he created.
