Gen 6:11-12 | KingComments | STEP | Noah finds grace in the eyes of the LORD. What can that mean other than that he has also sought for it? Whoever seeks grace, is aware of judgment. Noah is no exception to all people as sinners. He also deserves to be judged. He is the exception in the midst of all corruption, because he acknowledges that God’s wrath rests on him. The result is that of him can be said that he is “a righteous man, blameless”. This is also evident from his walk, for he “walked with God”. It must have been a great joy for God that this man walks with Him in the midst of corruption and violence.

Noah, the Exception

Noah finds grace in the eyes of the LORD. What can that mean other than that he has also sought for it? Whoever seeks grace, is aware of judgment. Noah is no exception to all people as sinners. He also deserves to be judged. He is the exception in the midst of all corruption, because he acknowledges that God’s wrath rests on him. The result is that of him can be said that he is “a righteous man, blameless”. This is also evident from his walk, for he “walked with God”. It must have been a great joy for God that this man walks with Him in the midst of corruption and violence.
