Genesis Six - The Wickedness of Man

5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man 

was great in the earth, and that every intention 

of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 

6 And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, 

and it grieved him to his heart. 

7 So the Lord said, “I will blot out man 

whom I have created from the face of the land, 

man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, 

for I am sorry that I have made them.”

8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

Genesis 6:5-8

Our God is perfect. He is the definition of perfection. There is only one that is perfect and that is God. If logically there is only one who is perfect-complete then rest are imperfect in comparison. We fall short. Not only do we fall short to perfection but we cannot even begin to go into the realms of perfection. And to even our own disbelief- we so choose to be even more imperfect! Fallen away from even the desire to be perfect. Now He who is perfect is in Heaven, He then who is in Heaven is so holy and perfect, we as mere sinful creatures dare not step into even the shadow of His goodness lest we melt away like ice in a desert. What hope is there then for those who are hopeless? It grieves our Creator's heart when we continue to seek evil, when we continue to reject Him.. When we continue to reject the one He sent us; that is Jesus. May I not be blotted out but be made perfect in Christ, to be found in the Lord's eyes as favored..
