Numbers 16

Man is irrationally sinful apart from God, and our memory and knowledge of His great power and holiness are often overwhelmed by our selfishness.

Genesis 15

God cannot be unfaithful.

God works His plan through man’s actions whether they are righteous or sinful.

The story of Abram marks the beginning of God’s specific plan of redemption.

In its most stunning rebellion yet, Israel rejects its redemption.

The flood is over but sin remains, so the only solution is to provide for its death.

God’s promise to never again flood the world points to the gospel.

The story of the flood shows that God will judge and the righteous are saved by faith.

Seth calls upon the Lord and it results in 1600 years and eight generations of obedience.
