Genesis 6:8 “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.”

When the LORD was sorry that He has made man on the earth, and He decided to destroy man, He loved His creation that He chose Noah to build an ark, to fulfil His plan. In other words Noah found Grace to do God’s Work. The grace bestowed upon Noah was not meant for him to coexist with the wickedness of the world of his time, but to execute God’s work, the work was to build an ark and save every living creature from the flood, ensuring their continuation alongside his family. It was God’s act of redemption upon humanity that was fulfilled through Noah, since he found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

The purpose and meaning of grace have not changed; it remains the same. As written in Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. All who believe in Jesus have a work to do i.e. to live a life that reflects the message of God’s love and His purpose for everyone and to spread the hope of eternal life. This is the very reason God bestowed grace upon us. Let our life reflect the image of Christ through our work’s and word’s for the glory of the Kingdom of God. As Noah worked by faith and executed the plan of God during his lifetime.

Finally the true essence of "Grace" in todays world could be defined as "God's Redemption At Cross Expense." We don’t deserve it, yet we got it. Let our Work’s express the message of God’s love and peace towards all His creation. Don’t forget to share this seed of truth with all, let His grace abound in everyone’s life. Amen.
