Scripture to Read: Genesis 6:1-4
In yesterday’s devotion, we began to unpack how depraved mankind had become, as recorded in Genesis 6. We also saw how the “sons of God” took on human form and had relations with women who gave birth to what God called “Nephilim” (fallen ones). In Scripture, we see that God brought judgment on these fallen angels as well. God tells us the outcome of these evil angels. In Jude 1:6-7, God’s Word says, And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, He has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day. Also, we see in 1 Peter 3:18-20, For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the Spirit, 19 in which He went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, 20 because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. God even references Noah, pointing out that He was patient about His judgment as Noah preached the Good News of salvation as he, his family, and others built the ark. The last reference on these evil angels is in 2 Peter 2:4-5. God's final judgment will happen, so we must share His Good News with everyone as God patiently waits for all lost souls to respond to Him.
Challenge & Application
1. What did God teach you today about the evil angels and the final outcome?
2. The final outcome for every lost soul is the same as for the evil angels. How are you sharing God’s Good News with the lost?
