—Genesis 6:1-8
by: Dale Rood.
The stage was set. Wickedness and evil were prevailing on the earth. It is not clear who the “sons of God” and the “daughters of man” (or “daughters of human beings” (NIV)) are, but one thing is clear: This passage describes a situation of compromising and corruption of God’s way and God’s people with that which was not of God. God’s heart was grieved. He was not happy with the situation. How would He respond? There would be judgement, for sure. But verse 8 gives a clue to the final answer to that question: our God is a god of grace.
