God preserves His covenant with Abraham and intercedes for him in spite of Abraham's discouragement, unbelief, and sin.

Lot compromises by sojourning in Sodom, then settling when it was time to escape. He suffered greatly as the city was destroyed, and though he was saved, his family became marked by scandal. Jesus has mercifully saved us from God's wrath and calls us to repentance and to hold fast to him rather than compromise our faith.

The three sons of Noah become the varied nations that populate the earth - but are ultimately only two kingdoms, the first represented by one man who defies God, and the second represented by the heir of the promise of Genesis 3:15

God makes a covenant with Noah (and creation) that foreshadows a true and better covenant that Christ, the serpent-crushing seed of woman, will make with his people by faith.

In the post-flood world, God institutes a new mandate that includes protecting the lives of humans, who have been created in the image of God.

God's judgment comes upon the entire earth in the form of a global, cataclysmic flood that extinguishes all life. Noah obeys God and enters the ark with his family as the floodwaters rise.

Noah, a righteous and blameless man, obeys God's command to build an ark which will save he and his family from a global flood - God's wrath on the world against sin. We get a glimpse of the Gospel in this sobering story of judgment and salvation.

God’s righteous judgment is coming, yet we see His gracious favor on Noah, and in turn his gracious favor on all those who trust in Him!
