THE LORD WAS GRIEVED / GENESIS 6:6

(KJV) Genesis 6:6

And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

God is revealed in the Bible’s early chapters as a God who deals with people personally and is capable of emotion, disappointment and reaction against people’s willful rebellion.

1. The word “grieved” implies that because of humanity’s sin, God’s attitude and outlook toward them changed from mercy and patience to judgment.
2. Still, God’s character and ultimate purposes do not change (1 Samuel 15:29; James 1:17); therefore, He remains open and responsive to people who seek Him. God’s feelings, attitudes or actions do change whenever He finds a favorable response to His will and direction (Exodus 32:14; 2 Samuel 24:16; Jeremiah 18:7, 8; 26:3, 13, 19: Ezekiel 18; John 3:10).
3. The fact that God can feel regret and grief makes it clear that He maintains a personal and intimate relationship with His creation. He loves people deeply, knows them completely and is fully aware of their circumstances (Psalms 139:7-18).
