Summary

The story of Noah and the flood is about the fact that God is committed to creation, and he’s ready to give new beginnings. He’s ready to give a second chance. In Genesis 9, God says to Noah and his family the same thing he said to Adam and Eve. In some ways, it gives more detail into what kind of life we’re called into. In a sense, he’s saying, “You’re not really living a fully human life unless you maintain three great relationships.” He’s calling us into 1) a relationship with the earth, which brings up the issue of ecology, 2) a relationship with all the people of the earth, which brings up the issue of justice, and 3) a relationship with the Lord of the earth, which brings up the issue of grace. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 10, 2000. Series: Genesis – The Gospel According to God. Scripture: Genesis 9:1-17.
