Little Things I know - Grace

For the next few weeks the posts will be of "little" things in the scripture that people like to change but make a difference in our understanding of G-d's truths.

Genesis 6:7-8 "And the L-RD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth: both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the L-RD."

People like to change G-d's grace to favour. G-d's grace is all about His kindness, His stooping to an inferior, nothing we have done or asked for His acceptance. Grace is all about G-d's greatness in giving what has not been earned. Favour is all about what a person sees with the eye, the physical outward beauty or actions of a person.  G-d was not looking on the outward appearance of Noah or any of Noah's outward actions. G-d was looking on Noah with G-d's kindness. Noah had a heart for G-d and a desire to please him but no person can live in this world without being a sinner. In spite of Noah's sins G-d showed kindness or grace toward Noah .
