God’s Faithfulness through Deliverance (Gen. 8:1-19) The structural center of the narrative. God’s complete faithfulness. The need for the waters to be gone. God’s control of the waters. Continued work of deliverance. Testing the waters. Noah’s patience for deliverance. Returning to God’s design. Deliverance fully realized. All went out by families. 2. God’s Faithfulness through Promise (Gen 8:20-22) The best to offer. An offering like Abel’s. God’s heart compared with man’s heart. God’s promise to cease. God’s promise to continue. Noah as Example: Patiently waiting for God Doing due diligence Caring for animals Giving God the best Theological Conclusions: God is a God Who remembers...His people Noah (Gen. 8:1) Abraham (Gen. 19:29) Rachel (Gen. 30:22) God is a God Who remembers...His promise (Ps. 105:8) Creation is served well to function as God designed God saves through judgment Delayed deliverance does not equal no deliverance
