The Flood Genesis 6-9

Key Verse

Genesis 8.21 And when the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, the LORD said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done.”

The Lord will judge sin and rebellion against his Kingdom, but by his grace, he will rescue a remnant of humankind.
