Genesis 4-7, God of Mercy

“Everything with the breath of the spirit of life in its nostrils   #— #everything on dry land died. He wiped out every living thing that was on the face of the earth, from mankind to livestock, to creatures that crawl, to the birds of the sky, and they were wiped off the earth. Only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark. ”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭7‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

God saving one family was a pure act of mercy.  He was not required to, and would have been just to destroy even them.  Yet, that is not what He did…He demonstrated who He is by choosing one family to be saved and the giving them the plan for what to do.  Their salvation hinged on following Gods plan.

They believed God and built a boat, and made preparations for something seemingly unknown to them…

God made a way to save  us too!  Jesus work of salvation on the cross, we just need to believe God and trust in Jesus.  What a God of grace and mercy!
