Genesis 6:9-22
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous
man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God. And
Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.Now the earth
was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with
violence.And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all
flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. And God said to Noah,
"I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is
filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with
the earth.Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in
the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.This is how you are
to make it: the length of the ark 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits,
and its height 30 cubits.Make a roof for the ark, and finish it to a
cubit above, and set the door of the ark in its side. Make it with
lower, second, and third decks.For behold, I will bring a flood of
waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of
life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die. But I
will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into
the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with
you.And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of
every sort into the ark to keep them alive with you. They shall be
male and female.Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the
animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the
ground, according to its kind, two of every sort shall come in to
you to keep them alive.Also take with you every sort of food that is
eaten, and store it up. It shall serve as food for you and for
them."Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.
1) Noah was saved not because of his good works
alone but because of his faith. (Heb. 11:7)
2) When you understand grace you praise Him not to
receive a blessing but you praise God for his
blessings. (2 Cor. 5:14)
3) The rainbow was intended to remind you of his
faithfulness in keeping His promises. (Gen. 9:12-17)
