Doing Big for God (Video)
Be Blameless
Genesis 6:9–10 (NIV)9
This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God. 10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.
Be blameless even when surrounded
by corruption
Genesis 6:11–12 11
Now the earth was corrupt (ruined NET) in God’s sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people (flesh NASB) on earth had corrupted their ways.
God will judge the unrighteous
(NIV) Genesis 6:13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people (lit. “all flesh”), for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.
(NASB95) Genesis 6:13 Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy (Ruin) them with the earth.
God gives refuge to the blameless
Genesis 6:14 So make yourself an ark of
cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat
it with pitch inside and out.

on the earth to destroy all life under the
heavens, every creature that has the
breath of life in it. Everything on earth will
perish.
God saves others because of the
blameless.
Genesis 6:18 But I will establish my
covenant with you, and you will enter the
ark—you and your sons and your wife and
your sons’ wives with you.
Even creation is saved because of
the blamelessGenesis 6:19–20 19 You
are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.
God provides for his children
Genesis 6:21 You are
to take every kind
of food that is to be
eaten and store it
away as food for
you and for them.”
The righteous follow God’s detailed
instructions.

as God commanded him.
