Grace in Grave Times

Surely one of the most remarkable people in the centuries before the Great Flood was Noah, the grandson of Methuselah, and the great-grandson of Enoch. He lived in a time marked by deepening perversion and escalating violence. Yet, it is said of him, as it was of Enoch, that he walked with God. His behavior was the result not of some inherent difference that made him superior to those around him, but the grace of God in his life. That grace produced in him that faith of which the text in Hebrews 11 speaks. Those who are the objects of God's superabounding grace will always believe God and they will govern their lives accordingly.
