BUT NOAH FOUND FAVOR IN THE EYES OF THE LORD

Genesis 6:8 - 7:24
Key Verse: 6:8 

“But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.”

Read V6:8. What does it mean that Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord? How is Noah described in 6:9 and 7:1. In what respect is he different from the people of his times?

Read V6:11-21. What did God tell Noah about his plans of the world? What did God tell Noah to do? What was the content of the covenant God made with Noah? (V6:18-21)

Read V6:22. What is the concrete evidence of Noah’s faith? (Heb. 11:7) What can we learn here about the importance of one man’s faith? 

Read V7:1-24. Describe Noah’s entry into the ark. (6:16-22; 7:1-10; 7:13-16) How did the animals get into the ark? (V15-16) How old was Noah when the flood began? (V11) How long did the rain fall (V12, 17) How long did the waters flood the earth? (24)

What can we learn from this event about sin? About God?
