Genesis 6 reminds us of a powerful truth: God never changes His mind or His Word. From the moment He spoke creation into existence, His intentions and His standards remained unshaken. Humanity may have drifted into corruption, but God’s purpose did not shift.
Because His Word is law, the instructions He gave to Noah were not suggestions—they were divine commands. And Noah obeyed. As a result, eight humans—Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their wives—entered the ark, just as God had ordained. Along with them came every kind of animal, preserved according to God’s original design for creation.
The flood narrative isn’t just a story of judgment; it’s a testimony to the unchanging nature of God. When God speaks, reality aligns. When God commands, creation responds. His Word is final, trustworthy, and eternal.
