The Apostasy:

  1. Its Cause. The marriage of the sons of God and the daughters of Men (Genesis 6:1-2).
  2. Its effect on the human race. Men forgot God and became giants in wickedness (Genesis 6:3-4).
  3. Its effect on the Creator. "And the LORD repented that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart" (Genesis 6:6). The word "repent" always describes a change in something. There is a sense in which God cannot change (Matthew 3:9; James 1:17). He is always God, omnipotent and eternal. There is a sense in which He changes His purposes toward us, otherwise forgiveness would be impossible (Jeremiah 31:34; Hebrews 8:12). God has declared that the soul that sins shall die (Ezekiel 18:4), but the sinner who turns from his sins and obeys the Lord, has the promise of salvation (2 Peter 3:9). God therefore changes His purposes toward men, but He is always God!
