7th.: Noah’s Righteousness
The world in Noah's day was getting more and more violent, and more and more perverted.
“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. …
Noah was a just man, and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.” (Gen. 6:8-9)
In Noah, God found someone who wanted to spend time with Him.
The prophet Ezekiel emphasized this closeness.
In Eze. 14, Ezekiel told the exciled elders of Israel, “Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness.” (Eze. 14:14).
Here, we see God's regard for those who regularly turned their attention to Him.
For this reason, God spared the human race through Noah.
Likewise, for us to build a rapport that persuades God, we must spend regular time with Him.
