Destruction

So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.”  (Genesis 6:13, NIV)  The word destroy caught my attention.  God does not like violence filling the earth.  A just and loving God does not like the horrible things that happen every day on our earth.  The judgment of Noah’s time destroyed everything and everybody. However, for Noah He made a way out.   He has also made a way out of the judgment to come for anyone who will accept it.   “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16, NIV)
