Babel: Scattered at the Tower. Reunited through Jesus.

God’s story in God’s people always includes the struggle with sin. Sin attacks us from three fronts: the world normalizes it, the devil deceives us, and our flesh desires to engage in sinful actions. There was wickedness before the flood, and the sin nature remained after the flood, as God states, “the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth” (Gen. 8:21). We know that to be true! 

Noah: The Offering and the Rainbow

From the time Noah and his family entered the ark until they walked out onto dry ground, more than a year had passed. Can you imagine entering the ark when the land was full of people and lush with vegetation, then emerging into a new world with only you, your wife, your three sons, and their wives? That must have been a strange reality. Certainly, all humanity can be traced back to Adam, and Noah is also part of our genealogy.

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.

What Does it Mean to Worship God?

Tucked away at the end of Genesis 4:26 are these words: “At that time people began to call upon the name of the LORD.” So, what does it mean to “call upon the name of the LORD?” I believe this phrase is synonymous with worship—expressing God’s greatness and worthiness with our lips and our lives. Notice that the name for God used here, “the LORD,” is Yahweh, the personal, approachable God.
