The Two Religions

Noah's sin is recorded, not only to show us the weakness of our flesh and need for salvation by the grace of God. It is recorded to show us the two religions in the world. The religion of the flesh, revealed in Ham. And the religion of faith, revealed in Shem and Japheth. The curse is upon all whose way of righteousness is of the flesh. The blessing of Christ is upon all whose way of righteousness is through the grace of God in Christ. That is what the Spirit is declaring to us in this passage.
