A Man Worthy of Saving

Do you act like everyone around you, or do you stand out like a sore thumb in contrast to their wickedness? Genesis 6:9-10 begins a story about a man who stood up when the rest of the world was full of wickedness. Here we are introduced to Noah. We become acquainted with Noah at a time when the Bible says the earth was corrupt in God's sight (Genesis 6:11).

God felt that the human race was worth saving simply because of Noah. No other man survived the ensuing flood. Would God find you worthy of saving? Do you give the people around you reason to find fault with you? Noah's testimony in Genesis 6:9 is a two-part testimony. First, he was a righteous man; he was a man who lived rightly in the eyes of God. Second, he was blameless among the people of his time; he gave the people of his time nothing to blame him for.

At a time when the entire world was so wicked that God's wrath was kindled to the point of destroying everyone, this one man was worthy of life. He alone walked with God. Would this be your testimony? If everyone else is headed in a different direction, would you still stand for God?
