Soothing Aroma II
from Flood on SermonAudio Hosted by Nicholas Smiley
This sermon examines God's response to Noah's post-flood sacrifice, highlighting the dual nature of His promise to never again destroy the earth by water while affirming the ongoing reality of human depravity. The text argues that the flood did not eradicate original sin, as the wickedness of the human heart remains unchanged from the pre-flood generation, pointing to the necessity of divine grace rather than human merit. It identifies the flood as an act of divine justice that foreshadows the final judgment, contrasting God's holiness with His mercy in restraining further cataclysmic destruction. The preacher emphasizes that the stability of the natural order, such as the seasons and day-night cycles, is upheld by God's sovereign word and character as a promise-keeping deity. Ultimately, Noah's role as a mediator and his sacrifice are presented as types pointing to Jesus Christ, whose atoning work satisfies divine justice and secures all of God's promises for believers.
