God observed all this corruption the world, for everyone on earth was corrupt. So God said to Noah, “I have decided to destroy all living creatures, for they have filled the earth with violence. Yes, I will wipe them all out along with the earth. -Genesis 6:12-13 (NLT)
DESTRUCTION OF CORRUPTION
A poem and essay by ILMA
The Lord created human beings for love and perfection
He made humans from his image so man can bring him exaltation
The enemy corrupted the very first man and woman
As a result, evil became rampant with all humans.
God decide to destroy this world’s corruption
He built a covenant with Noah to bring restoration
Repent and do not take part in any form of evil
Judgment will come to all those who follow the devil.

So many people get stuck with God’s punishment to man’s wickedness. A lot of believers I know think that God is a punitive person. Many people think in the Old Testament period when God literally punished man’s corrupted hearts and minds. In John 3:16, we are given a glimpse of a very loving father who gave up his only begotten son, so he could save all of our sins. He gave us a way out from the judgment that we will receive if we sin. He gave us Jesus, so that when we believe in him, we will have eternal life. God will never tolerate evil.

PRAYER
Lord, thank you for giving us your son to save us from evil.
REFLECTION
Why do you think some people view God either as punishing or loving?
