1. Genesis Part I: 1-11 Lesson 17: Nature of Grace

2. Genesis 6 6 And it repented the L ORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. Man caused grief in the heart of God. Noah found grace in the eyes of God. Why? 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the L ORD.

3. 1.Noah was born to a religious family. 1.ĈāinSĕth 2.Ē ʹ -nõĉhĒ ʹ -nõs 3.Ī ʹ -rãdĈā-ī ʹ -nãn 4.Mė-hū ʹ -jā-ĕlMã-hā ʹ -lã-lē -ĕl 5.Mė-thū ʹ -sā-ĕlJā ʹ -rĕd 6.Lā ʹ -mĕĉhĒ ʹ -nõĉh 7.Tū ʹ -bãl -ĈāinMė-thū ʹ -sẽ-lãh 8.Lā ʹ -mĕĉh 9.Nō ʹ -ãh

4. The person deter- mines the correct pronunciation. Self-pronouncing Bibles give a gen- eral consensus.

5. 1.Noah was born to a religious family. Seth lives in Eden, east of the garden. Cain lives in Nod, east of Eden. Genesis 4 23 And Lāʹ-mĕĉh said unto his wives, Āʹ- dãh and Zĭlʹ-lãh, “Hear my voice; ye wives of Lāʹ-mĕĉh, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. Lamech is an adulterer and murderer.

6. Seth lives in Eden, east of the garden. Cain lives in Nod, east of Eden. Lamech is an adulterer and murderer. Genesis 4 24 “If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, tru- ly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.” Lamech trusts in Cain and not God. Family of Cain is irreligious.

7. 1.Noah was born to a religious family. Genesis 4 26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the L ORD. The birth of a son prompts Seth to “call on the name of the Lord.” What is that?

8. Genesis 12 7 And the L ORD appeared unto Abram, and said, “Unto thy seed will I give this land”: … 8 … and there he builded an altar unto the L ORD, and called upon the name of the L ORD. Calling on the name of the Lord … i)is for sacrifice

9. I Kings 18 22 Then said Elijah unto the people … 24 and call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the L ORD : and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. … Calling on the name of the Lord … i)is for sacrifice ii)is for salvation

10. 1.Noah was born to a religious family. Psalm 116 13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the L ORD. Calling on the name of the Lord … i)is for sacrifice ii)is for salvation Acts 22 16 … Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

11. 1.Noah was born to a religious family. Calling on the name of the Lord … i)is for sacrifice ii)is for salvation Romans 10 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. iii)is for anyone

12. 1.Noah was born to a religious family. Calling on the name of the Lord … i)is for sacrifice ii)is for salvation Romans 10 iii)is for anyone 13 For “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”Joel 2:32 Sons of Seth become sons of God. One of these sons is most notable..

13. 1.Noah was born to a religious family. Genesis 5 24 and Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. What is meant by walking with God? What is meant by being taken by God? Jude 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying … Enoch regarded the word of God.

14. Jude 14 … “Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spo- ken against Him.” Enoch regarded the judgment of God.

15. Hebrews 11 5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for be- fore his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. Enoch saw God with faith. Enoch saw Paradise without death.

16. I Corinthians 15 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at His coming. Jesus is the first to go to heaven. Enoch and Elijah are in Paradise.

17. Genesis 5 28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: 29 and he called his name Noah, saying, “This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the L ORD hath cursed.” The name Noah means “quiet rest.” 2.Noah was a comfort to his parents.

18. Proverbs 20 7 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him. God blessed Noah for his parent’s sake, but also his parents for his sake. 2.Noah was a comfort to his parents. Proverbs 23 24 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

19. 1.Noah was born to a religious family. Ephesians 6 2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Being a comfort to your parents is a comfort to you. 2.Noah was a comfort to his parents. Note the word “may,” and remember Enoch.

20. 1.Noah was born to a religious family. I Kings 14 12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die. 13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the L ORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam. 2.Noah was a comfort to his parents.

21. 1.Noah was born to a religious family. 2.Noah was a comfort to his parents. 3.Noah was married to one woman. Genesis 7 13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

22. Genesis 6 1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. Sons of God are those who call on the name of the Lord. Daughters of men are like Lamech’s two wives.

23. Matthew 22 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Angels do not marry. Angels are not sons. Hebrews 1 5 For unto which of the angels said He at any time, “Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee?” And again, “I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?”

24. Hebrews 1 7 And of the angels He saith, “Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire.”Psalm 104:4 14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Angels are spirits and ministers. Angels minister to the sons of God.

25. Matthew 20 6 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of My Father which is in heaven. Angels are always present with God. Job 1 6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the L ORD, and Satan came also among them.

26. Angels are always present with God. Job 1 6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the L ORD, and Satan came also among them. Satan can no more go in and out of heaven than Cain can Eden. Satan is interested in sons of God who call upon His name, such as Job.

27. I John 3 1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God … 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God … Those who call upon the name of God are sons of God while on earth. Sons of God shine like stars. Job 38 7 when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

28. Genesis 6 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. Sons of God practice polygamy. 3 And the L ORD said, “My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” Spirit of God opposes man’s flesh.

29. Galatians 5 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Spirit of God opposes man’s flesh. Spirit of God delivers from law’s curse. Spirit of God leads the sons of God.

30. Romans 8 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

31. 1.He was born to a religious family. 2.He was a comfort to his parents. 3.He was married to one woman. Noah found grace in God’s eyes since
