Today we picked up the story of Genesis where we left off: Genesis 6:1-9:17. These chapters are about a man named Noah, who was righteous in God's eyes. The rest of the world was filled with evil, to the point that God decided to destroy it all, except for Noah and his family and a few animals and start over. After the flood destroys the world God makes a covenant, a deal, a promise, to Noah. He tells him that from then on he would never destroy the whole earth by flood again and set a rainbow as a way to help show he remembers his promise.
God has made many promises/covenants. Some to a person, some toa family, and some to all the world. God's promises are everlasting, guaranteed, and he never forgets them. He does them knowing the cost. This is quite different from man's promises/covenants which are often temporary, broken, forgotten or done on a whim. When God makes promises we can trust in them. His biggest promise/covenant with us was the new one through Jesus that through his death we could have forgiveness and life.
