Genesis 6:1-8 What went wrong?
6 When the number of people started to increase throughout the fertile land, daughters were born to them. 2 The divine beings saw how beautiful these human women were, so they married the ones they chose. 3 The Lord said, “My breath[a] will not remain in humans forever, because they are flesh. They will live one hundred twenty years.” 4 In those days, giants[b] lived on the earth and also afterward, when divine beings and human daughters had sexual relations and gave birth to children. These were the ancient heroes, famous men. (CEB)
5 The Lord saw that humanity had become thoroughly evil on the earth and that every idea their minds thought up was always completely evil. 6 The Lord regretted making human beings on the earth, and he was heartbroken. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe off of the land the human race that I’ve created: from human beings to livestock to the crawling things to the birds in the skies, because I regret I ever made them.” 8 But as for Noah, the Lord approved of him. (CEB)
Regret • Heartbroken • Every thought evil all the time
Intimacy with the creation • Continues to be with people • The Falling Away from God's Original Design • Broken relationships and discord • God and Human • Human's with each other • Human's with created order
Where are you? • Where is your brother? • My Spirit will not struggle forever
Where are you? My Father, who has given them to me, is great than all, and no one is able to snatch them from my Father's hand. I and the Father are one. John 10:30
Where is your brother? I give you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, so you also must love each other. This is how everyone will know that you are my disciples, when you love each other. John 13:34-35
My Spirit will not struggle with man forever If you love me, you will keep my commandments. I will ask the Father, and he will send another Companion, who will be with you forever. This Companion is the Spirit of Truth, whom the world can't receive because it neither sees him or recognizes him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be with you. John 14:16-17
