Transcript: Integrity Choices Sin in today's generation is just like it was in Noah's generation, everywhere. Sin is often hard to resit, whether it's worrying too much about your body( Matthew 6:25 ESV "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ") , resisting the urge to put anything above God in your life, not saying the Lord's name in vain, or any other sin, we all face it. Favor Sin The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. One great example of integrity is Noah, a man chosen by God himself to lead himself, his family, and 2 of each animal to begin the future generation. He was chosen by God because he was only light in a world full of darkness. The entire population of Earth had fallen to corruption and Noah(including his wife, his sons, and their wives) were the only ones righteous in Gods eyes. Noah Now Noah could have easily fallen under temptation and led himself and his family in the way of the world and strait into sin however he had integrity. He led his family teaching to do no wrong, even if nobody is looking and to love God with all their hearts. This caused Noah to have favor in God's eyes and is what saved him from the destruction of all mankind. When God saw what all had become of man, and all of the sin and violence they were committing, he regretted creating them and decided to start over, but with animals already named and mature, and man ready to repopulate the Earth. Now with this favor in God's eye, God found a way to save Noah and the animals while leading the way for a Godly generation in the future. God instructed Noah to build an ark so large to protect it from something never before seen...rain. Now this was a leap of faith for Noah, but he did abide by God's will and God granted him life though the flood for this. The 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high ark fit all of the animals and kept them safe for the entire 1 year, 10 day journey all because he had the integrity to say no to sin before God even showed favor in Noah.
