TakeawayGod loved the world he made, but he didn't love what people had become due to sin.

TakeawayGod sees sin and punishes people for acting sinfully.
Did God's flood destroy everyone? Why did God save Noah and his family? What does this tell us about God?
TakeawayGod punishes, but he also saves.
