📖 "This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a just and righteous man, blameless in his [evil] generation; Noah walked [in habitual fellowship] with God. The earth was depraved and putrid in God’s sight, and the land was filled with violence (desecration, infringement, outrage, assault, and lust for power). And the Lord said to Noah, Come with all your household into the ark, for I have seen you to be righteous (upright and in right standing) before Me in this generation.” -Genesis 6: 9&11;7:1 Amplified Bible Classic Edition
The earth was in bad shape. The world was so bad that God decided that He would destroy all of creation, including man. Fortunately, He was able to find one man who walked righteously before Him. That man was Noah. Noah walked in habitual fellowship with God, and it saved his life and the lives of his family. Our relationship with God will do the same. Regardless of how bad the world gets, we can still be set apart. We can still live a life that is holy, sanctified, and righteous. When we do, God will always show up in our lives. He instructs us to come out from among them and be separate (II Corinthians 6:17-18). There is to be a difference between us and the world. There is to be a separation. Jesus is difference that our world so desperately needs. We are His ambassadors on earth, so let’s represent Him properly.
