We often see drunk driving accidents, child abuse, domestic violence, and homicides in the news.
These sinful actions are like a contagious disease, continuously spreading!

Sin is a type of contagious disease

Genesis 6:5~12

Genesis 6:9Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.

Ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed God, others followed in their footsteps and continued to sin, with more and more doing terrible things until there was no way to save them. This made God very sad, since his originally wonderful plan was ruined and becoming ugly and evil! God regretted his creation of humans and decided to destroy the earth. However, wow did he eventually change his mind?

God discovered a very special person named Noah. The Bible says God found favor with three of Noah’s qualities:

Although the world at the time was evil and ugly and God wanted to destroy it, He is also loving and decided to protect the only righteous man and his family.

  1. When everyone is chasing the latest fad, do you join in? How do you decide?

  2. Is it easy to be a righteous person?

  3. What kind of God do you think the Lord is based on today’s devotion?

  1. Righteous man

  2. Blameless

Noah walked faithfully with God and did not follow the sinful ways of those around him, instead working hard to become a righteous man. So when God destroyed the earth with catastrophe, He made sure to prepare an emergency escape plan for Noah and his family. What can I do to avoid sin and perishing?

Dear Heavenly Father, I will learn from Noah and obey your commands, starting with the good habit of reading the Bible and praying to get closer to you and walk with you. Please protect my whole family and me. In Jesus’s name I pray, Amen!
