God's Covenant with Noah - Genesis 9:1-17
Yesterday we covered Noah's Ark and God's judgment upon the world because of sin. After the deluge was finished, and Noah and his family had left the ark, God made a promise that He would never destroy the earth with a flood again.
God made other promises that are recorded in the Old Testament. He made them with Abraham, Moses and David. God's promise is called a covenant. The first covenant God made with a man, as recorded in the Bible, is the one He made with Noah. God made this promise for Noah, and all who would come after him. This promise extended throughout history, even to this generation.
Have you ever seen a rainbow? The rainbow is a sign of God's promise to people that He will never again destroy the earth with a flood. When we see a rainbow, we are reminded of the promise that God made to mankind, that He will never destroy the world again in that manner. We can trust God because He is trustworthy. He will never break a promise.
