It didn't take long for sin to wreak havoc on God's perfect creation. Notice how quickly the human race spiraled in its immorality and corruption. Humanity was created to worship and obey God, and because that no longer took place, God acted in judgment against the world's sin by sending a flood to wipe out the entire human race. In as much as God is just, though, these chapters also give evidence of His mercy through the fact that Noah and his family found favor in God's eyes. He, subsequently, spared their lives. All of Scripture affirms that these two aspects of God's character - His justice and mercy -  remain in perfect harmony at all times.
