The Bible teaches that "Noah was a righteous man, perfect in his time" (Genesis 6:9).
He was the one who received the great favor of God. Here are a few things about Noah:
Let's consider
1. Noah's House
When we now compare the house of Noah and the house of Abraham, there is something slightly different.
there is me Abraham was born into an unbelieving family who worshiped idols.
was called to But Noah is different. of faith born of godly ancestors
son of the family Noah's great-grandfather was Enoch, a famous man of faith. Enoch
At the age of 65, she gave birth to Methuselah, and at the age of 252 (compare Genesis 5:21 and 25).
Try it) I saw the grandson Lamech. When Enoch ascended to heaven, his grandson Lamech was 113 years old.
will be
Therefore, Methuselah and Lamech, how did Enoch lead a godly life and fellowship with God?
It is clear that what he did was his own raised son and grandson.
Such Methuselah was Noah's grandfather, and such Lamech was the father of Geun.
If you think about it, you can imagine how pious Noah was the son of a pious family.
there will be
When we ponder Genesis 5:29, we can see the faith of Noah's father Lamech.
You can tell." Lamech was 182 years old when she gave birth to a son, and named him Noah, saying, "To the LORD
He will comfort us in our toil because He curses the earth” (Genesis 5:29).
In this text we can think of two things. The first is his lamentation. woo
It is a curse from God that Lee has to work so hard and suffer.
Because of the silver, he lamented. We know what his sorrow is in these groanings.
Imagine what it used to be. All of our lives have been cursed by God because we have sinned.
He sees that he was mourning and lamenting that he became the recipient. Such sighs, yes
I think that one sadness was the starting point of his faith. we are all our
If there are people who mourn and mourn that they are bound to perish because of their transgressions and sins,
That person must not be close to the way of salvation. I'm struggling like this right now
The conscience that thinks that it is the price of my sins that must be done is truly beautiful
However, if Lamech ended only with such sorrow and groaning, it was
I can't say no. Lamech was not just a man who ended up with sorrow and lamentation.
He said that even cursed humans have a way to receive God's comfort and rest in the future.
He was someone I trusted. His faith was based on the name of his son, Noah, whom he had built.
it shows up well
In the Old Testament times, the father's faith and hope in naming his son
There are many instances where it is expressed in the name of the son. Therefore, in the name of Noah
It is not unreasonable to think about the faith of his father Lamech.
Read Genesis 5:29.
"Lamech gave birth to a son... and called his name Noah, saying, The LORD cursed the earth.
Therefore, this son will be at ease for us who work hard."
The original meaning of the Hebrew word Noah is rest and consolation.
Lamech believed that true rest and comfort came from God. he said to God
Receiving the standing Son as a gift from God, through him, true rest and comfort
I looked at it and was happy and thankful. In that sense, Noah was the Christ to appear.
It is good to see it as an example of
This father's faith must have had a profound influence on Noah as well.
(See Malachi 2:15)
2. Environment of Noah's Day
The days of Noah were very corrupt. Genesis 6:2 says, "The sons of God are
When they saw the beauty of their daughters, they took wives of all they liked.”

The sons of God here do not refer to angels. marry the angels of heaven
I never do that. It means the descendants of Seth. Abel's holy lineage must be continued
The above scriptures show how the descendants of Halseth also became corrupt by uniting with Cain's crowd.
show In this way, Cain's descendants and Seth's descendants all fell together.
In Genesis 6:5,6 we read, "The Lord says that the iniquity of man is great in the world, and the thoughts of his heart.
When he saw that all his plans were always evil, he lamented that he had made man on the earth.
His heart is troubled..." He said, "Noah's day was an age in which sin was pervasive,
It was a time when people's hearts were evil and they groaned and grieved God. man's heart
Wickedness and the sins of the world have so grieved and grieved God.
In fact, when God first created the heavens and the earth,
The word that he liked you so much appears seven times in Genesis 1
C (1:4,10,18,25,31).
But now, on the contrary, when he saw that God was so pleased, he was sad.
Sin is such a heinous thing. In the days of Noah, such sins abounded in the world.
said that But because it was such a dark time, Noah shined brighter like the stars in the sky.
became In a time when all the people groaned God, only Noah
He was a man who pleased God.
It was true that God mourned and groaned over those evil days, but the righteous Noah,
Because of that one person, he was very happy. Through it, the world is renewed
you could do Even if millions of people commit iniquity, they can only overcome iniquity and achieve righteousness.
We must learn from Noah how precious the existence of one who does
(cf. Jeremiah 5:1). How, then, could Noah be so righteous?
how? The answer is recorded only in Genesis 6:8.
"But Noah found favor with the LORD."
It was by the grace of God that he was so justified. he has great faith
It was God's grace that kept him, and it was God's grace that he was saved.
It must have been a great pain to live righteously alone in an era of pervasive sin.
When the waves of injustice rush in like a flood, living alone
That would have been really difficult. But Noah endured it. That is
It was not because of Noah's own strength, but because of God's grace. noagama
In the end, it was God's grace that we overcame judgment and received salvation.
Had it not been for him to have received the favor of God, he could not have kept such great faith.
there would be no Moses, the author of this book of Genesis, tried to record the triumphant life of Noah.
Genesis 6:8, "But Noah found favor with the Lord.
It was” (refer to Ephesians 2:8).
Before the Bible records the life of Noah, the Bible tells us how he was a "favorite" man.
We should read carefully what was written first. Noah's Piety
It was because faith and life first received the grace of God. maybe good faith for us
Does anyone think there is this? If so, then first of all, it is the grace of God.
