Reformed (Presbyterian) Lens Commentary: Genesis 6-8

## Reformed (Presbyterian) Lens Reading of Genesis 6-8

### Tradition-Specific Interpretation

We read Genesis 6-8 as a profound demonstration of God's sovereign grace and covenantal faithfulness in the midst of human depravity. This passage reveals the unfolding of the covenant of grace, where God, in His sovereign mercy, chooses Noah and his family to be the recipients of His saving grace. The flood narrative is not merely a story of judgment but a foreshadowing of baptism (1 Peter 3:20-21), where God cleanses the earth and preserves a remnant, showcasing His redemptive purposes that ultimately culminate in Christ.
