Text: Genesis 9   God's Commission Declared (Gen. 9:1-7) God commands Noah be fruitful and multiply His image on the earth. God grants permission to eat meat, but not the blood. God declares that life must be protected and preserved.   God's Covenant of Grace Displayed (Gen. 9:8-17) God's covenant explained in terms of His unconditional commitment to His creation. God's covenant portrayed in the sky as His unconditional sign of grace.   Man's Sinfulness Demonstrated (Gen. 9:18-25) Noah's sin of drunkenness serves as a warning. Ham's sin of mockery and scorn led to a far-reaching curse upon his family.   God's Blessing Determined (Gen. 9:26-29) God's blessing rests on the line of Shem, from whom would come Christ, the Messiah who would redeem us from our sin.
