Genesis 6:9-22

This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close fellowship with God. v12
Saying that Noah was "righteous" and "blameless" does not mean that he never sinned. Rather, it means that Noah wholeheartedly loved and obeyed God. For a lifetime he walked step by step in faith as a living example to his generation.

So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him. v22
Noah got right to work when God told him to build the huge boat. Other people must have been warned about the coming disaster, but apparently did not expect it to happen. Today things haven;t changed much. Each day thousands of people are warned of God's inevitable judgment, yet most of them don' really believe it will happen. Don't expect people to welcome or accept your message of God's coming judgment and try to get you to deny God as well. But remember God's promise to Noah to keep him safe. This can inspire you to trust God for deliverance in the judgment that is sure to come.

Like Noah, we live in a world filled with evil. Are we influencing others or being influenced by them?
