The Sons of God Marry the Daughters of Men – Genesis 6:1-8

We all know Genesis is controversial, but today we will study one of the major areas of disagreement especially among believers: who are the “sons of God” in Genesis 6 and who are the Nephilim? Over the years, many respected pastors, scholars, and theologians have offered helpful insight into this issue, and today we will look at what we believe to be the best answer – the one that fits with not only the obscure details of the verses in question, but the grand redemptive story of Genesis itself.

Outline:

1. Intermarriage and Spiritual Decline (Gen 6:1-4)
2. Intentions and Spiritual Depravity (Gen 6:5-7)
3. Initiative and Singular Grace (Gen 6:8)
