Living a God-ward Life in a Man-ward World

Between the creation of the world and the coming of the flood sits a description of two types of people that were on the ancient world and continue to live out their lives today. There were -- and are -- people who live a man-ward life, finding identity in their accomplishments and autonomy; and there were -- and are -- people that are marked by calling on the name of the Lord and walking with Him.

This passage points us to an important response to God our creator. Because God is our creator, we trust His promises — for history and life —and seek to live in a way that worships Him.
