âBut Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.â â Genesis 6:8
Itâs just one verseâbut it changed the entire course of human history.
In a generation full of violence, corruption, and spiritual darkness, Noah stood out. He wasnât a prophet. He wasnât a priest. He wasnât even Jewishâthere were no Jews yet. And yet, Noah found favor in Godâs eyes.
Why?
Because Noah walked with God (Genesis 6:9). He lived with righteousness, integrity, and faithâwithout any organized religion, without conversion, and without intermediaries.
And it is this Noah, our ancestor, whom God chose to redeem all of humanity and begin a new world.
đ Why Did God Choose Noah?
In his recent video teaching, Rabbi Oved Abrahamâa Jewish Rabbi born in Maryland and now teaching at the Noahide Academy of Israelâexplores the deep Torah meaning of Noahâs role. He explains that Godâs plan for the Nations did not begin with the Church or with Paul, but with Noah himself.
The Torah teaches that:
Noah was chosen because of who he was, not what he believed.
He preserved universal morality when the world abandoned it.
God entered into an eternal covenant with Noah and his descendantsâthat includes you.
That covenant is not about conversion, but about truth, responsibility, and walking with God through the 7 Noahide Lawsâcommandments that were reaffirmed at Mount Sinai for all humanity.
Why This Matters to Former Christians
If youâre a former Christian, especially from the Bible Belt of AmericaâTexas, Tennessee, Georgia, or Floridaâand have begun to question what you were taught in churchâŚ
If youâve watched Rabbi Tovia Singer and discovered inconsistencies in the New TestamentâŚ
If you wonder whether salvation requires blood sacrifice or faith in JesusâŚ
You are not alone.
And more importantlyâyouâre on the right path.
The Torah offers you something Christianity cannot: A direct, personal relationship with the Creatorâbased not on belief, but on action, on justice, on divine truth.
