God’s Covenant with Noah

God reinstituted the created order and established a permanent covenant with creation.

God’s commitment to you as his creation is bound by an unbreakable covenant.

God Blessed Noah

Blessed- Fortunate, happy, enlarged, lengthy

Romans 8:35–39 “35 Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: Because of you we are being put to death all day long; we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered. 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

They are placed under your authority.”

Punishment

Of the Civil Magistrate - Chapter 24 PARAGRAPH 1

God, the supreme Lord and King of all the world, has ordained civil magistrates to be under him, over the people, for his own glory and the public good; and to this end has armed them with the power of the sword, for defence and encouragement of them that do good, and for the punishment of evil doers.1

Romans 13:1–4 “1 Let everyone submit to the governing authorities, since there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are instituted by God. 2 So then, the one who resists the authority is opposing God’s command, and those who oppose it will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Do what is good, and you will have its approval. 4 For it is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because it does not carry the sword for no reason. For it is God’s servant, an avenger that brings wrath on the one who does wrong.”

2.God Reemphasizes the dignity and value of mankind.

Genesis 1:27 “27 So God created man in his own image; he created him in the image of God; he created them male and female.”
