6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
KJV
Our passage points out the end result of ignoring and disobeying the Word of God. (Gen 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.) God did not create man in this way, did not place evil in his heart or imagination, those things entered in with disobedience. Then is just a few generations man became so evil that god was forced to destroy this world with a flood. When we allow one step of disobedience into our lives, when we knowingly go against God and His Word, that evil will grow, it never just stays the same. I think of a wooded area that has been logged out, it doesn’t stay the same as when the trees were cut. Soon briars grow up, they become thinker and thinker and then you cannot even walk through without getting caught and cut up. That is what happens when we begin to disobey the Word of God. Things may seem to be clear, but soon the briars grow and we begin to get caught and cut by sin. It did not take long for the world to go from Cain to destruction, it takes even less time for us to make wreck and ruin of our lives when we choose to disobey the Word of God.
