Genesis 5
The Descendants - “And he died, “and he died,” “and he died”: over and over we read the same sad refrain. Long past are the happy benedictions of God: “and God saw that it was good.” Now, evil and wickedness are extending their death grip on the entire human race. We turn to Genesis 5 this week in our continuing series through Genesis, believing that these words tracing generation after generation of fathers and sons are no less inspired by God than any other part of Scripture and so have something important to teach us as we face the same death that eventually claimed our ancient ancestors. The descendants of Seth (the son born to Adam and Eve after the death of Abel and exile of Cain) called on the name of the Lord and waited in faith for the promise of God to come true for them and their children. They are examples to us, not just of the power of sin and death but also of the power of faith and worship for God’s people. Genesis 5.
