Bible Commentary

Genesis 6:22

This verse is one of the most powerful summary statements in Genesis. Eight words that define a life: 'so did he.' Complete, unqualified obedience. This is what it looks like to walk with God.

Memory phrase: So did he — all of it.

Talk about it: Why is it important to obey all the way, not just halfway?

Prayer: God, help me to do everything You ask me to do, just like Noah.
