Genesis 6:1-8 explores humanity's moral collapse and God's response of both judgment and grace. This powerful passage reveals how sin had corrupted every aspect of human thought and intention, snowballing from Adam's first disobedience until violence filled the earth. The text introduces mysterious elements like the 'sons of God,' 'daughters of men,' and the Nephilim, which have been interpreted in various ways throughout church history. Most importantly, we see God's heart—grieved by human wickedness yet extending grace to Noah amid universal judgment. This pivotal moment in Scripture teaches us three profound truths: our sin is great, God's judgment is real, but His grace is greater.
