A New Start
Gary DeLashmutt
Genesis 8:20-9:29
After the cleansing of the flood, God makes a new promise to never again judge the earth through a flood, not because He thought man could be righteous, but because He would offer a sacrificial substitute for their sins. With this promise, He also gives new instructions that demonstrate the value of human life, and, through Noah's family dealings, makes new predictions about how He will work through human history to bring people to Him, including each one of us.
