    God is bent on preserving his good world. When he recognizes that humanity is bent upon its own destruction, he cleanses the earth and begins a covenant with a human partner. This act of renewal is fundamental to God’s nature.

    God intended the flood for good to accomplish the saving of mankind. He HAD to act to preserve the human race. He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7) yet gives mankind free will in their lives but at times, in grace, He will act to guide us along the best pathway for our lives and for His purposes in us.
    In this wickedness we see the footprint of satan, the work of destroying God’s creation. God had to act to save us, just as He had to act through Jesus to save the world.

    The story shows the holiness and love of God. Mankind was totally evil and destroying itself. God stepped in to preserve a righteous man and his family to continue the human race. Though things seem one way to us, God always does right.

    God abhors evil, and the human race was becoming more evil. Despite this evil, God found one man (Noah) and his family who remained righteous. So, to preserve the righteousness since God is righteous and we are created in His image, God decided to destroy the evil from the face of the earth. The story of the flood reveals that God is a God of righteousness, love and peace. He has no use for evil. The evil itself would have destroyed the world had God not sent the flood, while still preserving righteousness through one man and His family who were pleasing in God’s eyes. In a sense, by preserving this family and a pair of each species of animals in the ark, God was wiping out the evil and giving the world a new start for the human race. This was an act of love for those who loves God, worships, and honors Him.
