“But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.” – Genesis 6:8
It’s just one verse—but it changed the entire course of human history.
In a generation full of violence, corruption, and spiritual darkness, Noah stood out. He wasn’t a prophet. He wasn’t a priest. He wasn’t even Jewish—there were no Jews yet. And yet, Noah found favor in God’s eyes.
Why?
Because Noah walked with God (Genesis 6:9). He lived with righteousness, integrity, and faith—without 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.
🌍 Why Did God Choose Noah?
In his recent video teaching, Rabbi Oved Abraham—a Jewish Rabbi born in Maryland and now teaching at the Noahide Academy of Israel—explores the deep Torah meaning of Noah’s role. He explains that God’s 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 descendants—that includes you.
That covenant is not about conversion, but about truth, responsibility, and walking with God through the 7 Noahide Laws—commandments that were reaffirmed at Mount Sinai for all humanity.
Why This Matters to Former Christians
If you’re a former Christian, especially from the Bible Belt of America—Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, or Florida—and have begun to question what you were taught in church…
If you’ve watched Rabbi Tovia Singer and discovered inconsistencies in the New Testament…
If you wonder whether salvation requires blood sacrifice or faith in Jesus…
You are not alone.
And more importantly—you’re on the right path.
The Torah offers you something Christianity cannot: A direct, personal relationship with the Creator—based not on belief, but on action, on justice, on divine truth.
