*Pastor Byron Stewart - Genesis 6*
Two lines descended from Adam and Eve: The line of Cain and the line of Seth. Cain, after having murdered his brother, Able, was allowed by God to continue his life, though under a curse from God. We saw that he walked away from God, determined to make his own way - the Way of Cain.
Seth established a lineage that produced some very godly men. This would be the line through which the Son of David, the Son of God would eventually come. It was in this line that Enoch was mentioned, as one who "walked with God; and he was not, for God took him." This was the first human being to have been translated into heaven without having died. A wonderful sign for those of us who are waiting for the day when the Lord will call believers up to meet Him in the air!
But something awful happened to humanity. Sin had been allowed to take hold of everyone to such an extent that people were no longer redeemable! "The Lord was sorry that He had made man...and He was grieved in His heart." What grieves the Lord, and what is God's Response to this problem?
