“But
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” Genesis 6:8
What a marvelous declaration. In a
world full of contempt for God, filled with every imaginable evil, every
corruption of the flesh, God still held out grace. Grace is not dependent on
our surroundings. Rahab found grace with God, and while all the Canaanites were
to die, she was spared. Ruth found grace with God in that all Moabites were
rejected but she was accepted. Not age, or sex, or heritage, or nationality, or
lowliness or exaltedness of human position factors into God’s grace.
Because the Bible clearly states
that “all have sinned”, then Noah was a sinner. Since the Bible clearly states
that “the wages of sin is death (eternal separation from God), then by nature
Noah was condemned. But Noah found grace. That grace is as alive today through
Jesus Christ as it was in Noah’s day. That grace is as free today as it was in
Noah’s day. By grace we are saved, and that grace is still free to all who will
believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Dear Father, Thank You for the gift
of grace through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
