DWDP - Gen 7-9 Noah Found Grace

Send us Fan Mail

A single line flips the darkest chapter into a story of hope: “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” We open Genesis 6:7–9 and follow that thread of grace through judgment, obedience, and a faith that dared to build before rain existed. Rather than offering a neat moral, we slow down to trace a five-step progression that runs through Noah’s life and our own: grace, justification, sanctification, walking with God, and good works. It’s the same arc Ephesians 2:8–10 lays out—salvation by grace through faith, then a life shaped for the good works God prepared in advance.

We also tackle the uncomfortable truth about sin’s spillover. Broken vows don’t just scar spouses; they bruise children. Addiction doesn’t haunt one soul; it hollows out homes. The flood story shows how human evil reverberates outward, touching even creation. Yet the reverse is also true: integrity blesses. Joseph’s righteousness lifted a pagan household, and faithful choices still change rooms we enter and teams we lead. Noah’s centuries of preaching with only six visible converts remind us that faithfulness beats scoreboard success. Outcomes belong to God; obedience belongs to us.

Along the way, we talk about what happens as believers age and draw nearer to the finish line. The older saints we admire speak less about achievements and more about grace. That shift isn’t sentimental—it’s clarity. The closer we get to God’s holiness, the more we see our need and the deeper our gratitude grows. Noah’s story doesn’t end with his craftsmanship or leadership. It ends with grace getting the headline. If this conversation stirs you to trade metrics for obedience and applause for communion, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review to tell us where you’re seeing grace lead you into action.
