Did you know we all are sinful? Genesis 7-11

Genesis 9:20-21 (NASBStr)

Then Noah began farming and planted a vineyard. He drank of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent.

Prior to the flood, in Genesis 6, we read that God looked on the earth and saw only evilness.   He would have destroyed the earth right then and there if it were not for Noah.  In Genesis 6:8 it says that Noah found grace in the sight of The Lord.   God then choose Noah to be the redeemer of mankind by having him build a boat to take Noah and his sons and their families through the flood.   It is with Noah and those sons that God would replenish the earth and start the plan of redemption anew.    And then came the above incident.   Noah found grace in the eyes of The Lord but Noah, having received redemption, found  the taste of wine.   We have no recorded sin of Noah prior to this time.  That doesn't mean it didn't sin, however.    But, here we have, as the new founder of God's redemptive plan, a picture of man's totality of sin.  Noah was not perfect when he went into the ark, but God saved him.  Noah was not perfect when he came out of the Ark, and God would have to save him again.   Noah, apparently in shame and disgrace, took too much of the wine and acted foolishly.  We are not told anything more than that he "uncovered" himself.   In the most simply terms we would understand that to mean that he was found naked.   We might think that a harmless act, until we recall that after Adam's sin of eating the forbidden fruit in The Garden that the first thing he did was hide himself from God because he discovered he was "naked."   Sin as a habit of exposing us.   The picture we have above is that Noah, like Adam, had sinned and that sin had exposed him to his sons in a way that was not honoring to God.   Ham, the second born, than compounds the problem by mocking his father.  Although the commandment to "honor your father and mother" won't come until Moses' generation, the concept and truth were still part of God's character.   Noah was not acting honorable and Ham, failing to show grace, did not either.   Here we have a story of sin exposing us to others and bringing dishonor to us and them.   Man did not last long on the earth without demonstrating the evilness of his heart.   The first recorded sin after the flood, however, did not come from simply the son, but from Noah's actions, as well.   Sin rules the heart and it is only the grace of God that covers the nakedness it exposes.
