The Flood | Genesis 6-7
Adam and Eve, a garden, a talking snake, flood waters, and an ancient tower to the skies—these stories are ancient, but they set the rhythm for the rest of the Bible. The book of Genesis grounds Christians in God's character and purposes, inviting us to join in God’s story.
The story of the flood taps into a key biblical theme: salvation through judgment. As humans continue to sin and wickedness and evil run rampant, God, in his goodness, acts. The flood is a reminder that God judges sin, but the story of the flood and the preservation of Noah, also demonstrates God seeks to save.
