    It’s intriguing to me how the Great Flood is framed by God’s repudiation of human violence. Genesis 6:11 explains that God “saw how the earth had become filled with violence.” After the flood, God instructs Noah that whoever kills a human being must be killed for shedding the blood of one made in the very image of God. God destroyed most of humanity to give us a fresh start with a family that would nurture respect for life. Those who are prone to violence are disregarding God. Those who look to God are far more inclined to live peacefully.

    The story of the flood explains God’s mercy and love and also his anger towards people who do his people wrong. The flood also reveals that we as a people should trust God more when we are dealing with this world because he hears us and will open doors only he can open.

    The story of the flood reveals that God’s nature is that of mercy and justice. God saw the deterioration of the world and rather than let it continue in its violent, inhumane ways, which did not reflect the image of God, he sought out the one who remained in his image. He was merciful to future generations in not allowing the world to further deteriorate but also just in seeing that not all should be lumped into that category. This is also an act of mercy because it allowed the world to start over.

    That because God loves us, he will do what is necessary to preserve mankind. All his actions point towards his great love for us
