    Suppose you sit and ponder the flood and the aftermath. It does show God’s love. He protected his people. Those that followed him. At the same time, he created a world with beauty in it. He didn’t just flood the earth and leave it. He made the mountains and the grand canyon. That is just my take on it.

    The story of the flood reveals that our God is a loving God. He so loved the world and his creation that he was willing to do what was necessary to protect the one righteous man and his family that was left in the world. God loves each and every one of us enough that He was willing to flood the world, in itself a violent act which He despised but found necessary. He truly acted out of love for the future of humanity.

    God wanted a loving relationship with mankind but they rejected Him and became wi Ken to the point that their thoughts were continually everlasting. But rather than give up on the human race and destroy everyone, God has His sight on one righteous man and his family that he chose to save humanity. Because He loves, he choose to save a small portion of the w people.

    I feel the flood story shows that God knew he too was imperfect and realized his mistake when he sent the flood to destroy the world.

    God is a God of love – in fact He is love – but He is also a just God. The characteristic or nature of God that is justice is perfect justice because God is perfect. In order to preserve the human race and the earth He had created, the people before the flood, which was almost everyone at the time, who had turned themselves to total evil had to be removed, destroyed, erased…and a righteous family protected and brought forth by His protection saved to re-establish the covenant, the race, the earth and all of the creatures that were worth saving at the time.
    God is holy – always and forever!
