Noah Found Grace In The Eyes Of The Lord
We have in this chapter the Lord's assessment of the wickedness of the human race, together with His pronouncement of judgment. The life and testimony of Noah is singled out as an instance of God's saving grace. Noah was a just man (freely justified by the redemption that is in Christ Jesus); perfect in his generations (living godly in Christ Jesus in the midst of a crooked society); walking with God (enjoying blessed fellowship and communion with the Lord); obedient to the Lord (following the Lord's instructions, even when the adverse circumstances make no sense).

A Catalogue Of Ten Generations
We have in this chapter a catalogue of ten generations, represented by one man per generation, covering a total period of 1,656 years. All ten men were the ancestors of the Messiah. Among them are Jared, the second oldest man in history and father of Enoch; Methuselah, the oldest man in history and son of Enoch; Enoch, the man who lived the shortest time in his generations and did not see death, for God took him immediately to heaven. Although Noah is introduced at the end of the chapter, Enoch is the man who is given prominence, he being a regenerate sinner, walking with the Lord and preaching the gospel of Christ.

44 Bible Doctrine – The Being (Existence) Of God
I would like to welcome you back to another study in Bible Doctrine. I am pleased to say that we begin this day with the actual content of Gill’s “Body of Divinity”. We are looking at the first thirty chapters, all dealing with the blessed Godhead of the TriUne Jehovah. Of course, I have rearranged these chapters in order to align them with the Framework of Sovereign Grace. These chapters are located on the top right corner of the diagram, next to the TriUne Jehovah, all of which deal with the being, existence and perfections of the Godhead.

The Being (Existence) Of God
The existence of God is the first principle of truth set forth in the Holy Scriptures. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Gen 1:1) There is no attempt to prove the existence of God by arguments of science or reason. This knowledge is imparted to the soul at the time of conception, insomuch that every person brought into the world instinctively knows that God is real. Those who deny His existence are only suppressing what God has engraven upon their hearts.

The Resurrection Of The Lord Jesus Christ
After three days and three nights, the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Henceforth, on the first day of the week we commemorate the resurrection of Christ in full assurance of our everlasting salvation.

The Death Of The Lord Jesus Christ
There is irrefutable evidence that the Lord Jesus Christ was crucified on the Wednesday, rather than the Friday. We therefore commemorate His death and reflect upon the meaning of redeeming grace.
