This week, we explored God's covenant with Noah. This specific covenant reaffirms his promises that he will never again interrupt the fulfillment of humanity’s creation mandate (Genesis 1:26-30, 9:1-7).

It's implied from the scope of this covenant, that God’s redemptive goal will ultimately encompass all creation. The earth will now be a reliable place where we can live together – but God knows that we will not be. In this covenant Noah has to do nothing, and this one-way covenant reflects God's heart towards us, too.
