The Striving of God’s Spirit

Speaks of a limited time frame in which man can repent
In this passage the time frame given is specific
This is the length of time it took Noah to complete the Ark

It is to convict and convert men1 Peter 3:18-20 – Noah’s DayMatthew 28:18-20 – Our Day

The Extent of the Wickedness
Genesis 6:5
Every intent of man’s heart was evil continually
A sad picture of corruption – Romans 1:18-32
This is the darkest hour on earth since Adam and Eve sinned in God’s garden
Our world is dark and gloomy,but is preserved by faithful Christians
Matthew 5:13-16 – Philippians 2:14-16

God’s Repentance
Genesis 6:6
This is simply God’s reaction to the sin that had overtaken His creation
Repented – Sorry – Grieved
Since God cannot commit sin or do evil,how then can He repent?
God simply went from a state of fellowship with man to one of judgment against man
Jonah 3:10

How God’s Judgment is Executed
Genesis 6:7
God’s judgment is necessitated by man’s sinfulness
God’s judgment is inescapableRevelation 21:7-8
All of God’s creation suffers in judgment Romans 8:19-22
