The Grieve in God’s Heart
“And it repented the Lord that He made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.” Gen.6:6.(KJV)
Why was God grieved when He saw the evil in mankind?
Was He sorry He made man on the earth?
I do not think God was sorry He made man.
He was disappointed that man was so evil.
God wanted to destroy everyone.
Noah was different from the other people. He was obedient to God.
For his sake, God decided to save mankind.
Noah built the ark and was saved.
Are you part of the evil mankind, or are you submissive to God as Noah?
Jesus Christ has come and shown us the perfect example to follow.
Daily we are making choices.
Are you choosing evil or good?
Only when you are in Christ Jesus can you consistently choose to follow God.
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.” Jeremiah 17:9-10 (KJV)
Allow Jesus in your heart.
The Holy Spirit will enable you to make the right choices.
Application to the Christian life:
Serve God.
Obey Him.
Live according to His commandments even when your friends mock you.
