Two legacies

In our study of God’s story in God’s people, we find early on that God “regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart” (Gen. 6:6). God’s regret[1] stemmed from the great wickedness that permeated the world. God saw “that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time” (Gen. 6:5 NIV). He was sorry for making humans, the animals, creatures, and birds, and he intended to wipe them out by a universal flood. 

Last time, we considered what it means to worship God. Today, let’s examine the accounts of two men who embody distinct paths and legacies.
