Even when God is at his most angry, he finds a way to show grace and mercy. We can see the truth of this statement time and time again in the days of Noah and the flood. The year is around 2348 BC and violence is everywhere. “The Lord saw that the wickedness of men was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their heart was only evil continually” (Genesis 6:5). God says that humans have stopped thinking (of the Lord) or completely following the Lord and going about their business. When God saw this, he “regretted that he had created mankind on the earth, and it grieved him greatly” (Genesis 6:6). The word “sorry” in Genesis 6:6 is translated as “Nacham” in Hebrew. One of the definitions of this word is the word "repentance", and if we look at the synonyms of repentance, we find the word "compassion". In Genesis 6:7, God said, “I will wipe out from the earth the human beings that I have created, men, animals, creeping things and birds of the air, because I am sorry that I have created them. » We see the word “sorry” again which brings us back to compassion. The dictionary definition of compassion is sympathetic pity and concern for the suffering of others. This means that God changed his mind and was going to show compassion. These three verses show ample evidence that God shows mercy and grace. In Genesis 6:8, God said, “But Noah found favor in the sight of the LORD. » The word “favor” is translated in Greek as “Charis”, which is then translated as the word “grace”. This verse once again shows the grace of God. He could have easily killed all men, but instead he shows his grace and mercy to save Noah and his family because Noah listened to God. ...... middle of paper ......teous. When Satan's angels roam the earth trying to cause whatever violence they can, we can say that Noah lived through very difficult times. Noah was the only righteous man in his time and I think that was very, very difficult to do when everyone around you was partying and doing stupid things. God killed everyone on earth but took pity on Noah because he understood that Noah was facing difficult times and God showed grace and mercy by saving him. Without the grace and mercy of God that saved Noah and his family, we would not be here today. The grace and mercy that God showed Noah was enormous and it has saved us all today. Many messages can be taken from the flood, but God's grace and mercy are the most important because not only did it save Noah's life, but it also saved the human race from being completely wiped out..
