Ancient Words: The Days of Noah, The Days of Grace
Noah’s life spanned 950 years, 600 years before the flood and 350 years following. I suppose all of his years were full of grace: ….as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in it, they could save neither son nor daughter. They would save only themselves by their righteousness (Eze 14:20). Noah was a man among men for certain and God’s grace was bestowed fully upon him and his family during the worst of times as evil filled the earth in the form of sexual immorality, corruption and violence. The image of God was only found in Noah among all people, so Noah received God’s amazing grace through his faith!
