Genesis 9 - The Bow

Noah is given a second chance to start again in this recreation account, only to fall into the same pattern of sin as Adam, the same pattern that we all fall into. The good news is that God steps into the story and makes a covenant of grace with humanity. It's not a promise that one day humanity will get it right but that God will make a way to break the power of sin. The sign of this covenant is a bow God hangs in the clouds.
