Look at the people around you. What do you see? Who do you see? What do you think about the people around you?

Gods main concern in this World are people. People like you

Dont be concerned if people like you but understand that people are just people like you.

1. The Remembrance of the People

Genesis 4 - The Line of Cain

We see the effects of sin

We see the rejection of God

We see the hatred of people

We see the creation of things

Genesis 4:25–26 “25 Adam was intimate with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, for she said, “God has given me another offspring in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.” 26 A son was born to Seth also, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the Lord.”

From this point we jump to Gen 5 and we see those who are calling on the name of the Lord.

The line of Seth.

The view then shifts and we are taken 1565

We are possible given a book from Adam-

Genesis 5:1 “1 This is the document containing the family records of Adam. ”

This could be the oldest document ever written.

This contains actual history of the human race.

1.st Created man Adam 930

Oldest Living Man Methuselah 969

“ Some believe that Earth’s population was much higher. If the growth rate in the pre-Flood world was equal to the growth rate in 2000 (0.012), there could have been about 750 million people at the time of the Flood. However, given the extremely long lifespans prior to the Flood, the growth rate could have been much higher. Increasing the rate by just 0.001 would put the population at close to four billion at the Flood.” - Answers in Genesis

They Lived Long lives

Could be becase of the environment

They Died

God Kept His Promise!

Look around How is it that you will want to be remember

I may not treat you like you want to be treated- And I am sorry

I love you all in diffrente ways.

The world around us wants us to be remembered and classified by labels

Tall - Fat -

Republican - Democrate

Trumper - Riding with Biden

We will only know who we are first by lookin gin the mirror of God word!

And then we will know how we are by they way others treat us.

2. The Remnant of People

God has always had a “Remnant” of people who would call upon His name.

Genesis 5:24 “24 Enoch walked with God; then he was not there because God took him.”

ENOCH (חֲנוֹךְ, chanokh). The great-grandfather of Noah and the seventh generation directly descended from Adam. The first character in the Bible to be assumed into God’s dwelling place without having died first.

Jude 14-16

It was about these that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied: “Look! The Lord comes with tens of thousands of his holy ones 15 to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly concerning all the ungodly acts that they have done in an ungodly way, and concerning all the harsh things ungodly sinners have said against him.” 16 These people are discontented grumblers, living according to their desires; their mouths utter arrogant words, flattering people for their own advantage.

Walked with God

Prayer - Direct communication from you to God

Reading His Word- Direct Communication from Go to You

Church- Indirect communication through the people God Loves

Remnant

The remnant is known, first, by the presence of God.

Raymond C. Ortlund Jr.; R. Kent Hughes

There has been a remnant of believing Jew

There is a Remnant of Believing Gentiles.

1 Kings 18:18 “18 He replied, “I have not ruined Israel, but you and your father’s family have, because you have abandoned the Lord’s commands and followed the Baals.”

God has always done His greatest work through a remnant. Get rid of the notion of numbers

The Christian Soldier, 278

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (Welsh Preacher and Writer)

God’s remnant, who still believed, who still waited, who still hoped, for the coming of the Messiah, and she went and told them the good news that she had seen the Lord’s Christ.

R. C. Sproul

Matthew 24:38–39 “38 For in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah boarded the ark. 39 They didn’t know until the flood came and swept them all away. This is the way the coming of the Son of Man will be.”

The Save Remnant

Romans 9:27–29 “27 But Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, Though the number of Israelites is like the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved; 28 since the Lord will execute his sentence completely and decisively on the earth. 29 And just as Isaiah predicted: If the Lord of Hosts had not left us offspring, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been made like Gomorrah.”
