The Nephilim

In exploring the story of Noah's flood, we're confronted with a challenging narrative that pushes the boundaries of our faith. This account isn't just about a global deluge; it's a profound exploration of human nature, divine judgment, and God's enduring grace. The text introduces us to the mysterious Nephilim - offspring of 'sons of God' and human women - which challenges our understanding of spiritual and physical realms. This story compels us to grapple with the reality of widespread human wickedness and its consequences. Yet, amidst this bleak picture, we find hope in Noah, who 'found favor in the eyes of the Lord.' This reminds us that even in our darkest moments, God's grace remains available. As we reflect on this account, we're invited to examine our own hearts, recognizing our capacity for both wickedness and righteousness, and to seek God's favor through faith and obedience.
