18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. 20 And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. 22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease (Genesis 8:18-22).
Noah’s reaction to being saved from the flood was to worship God. This response pleased God. God in turn promises, that as long as the earth remains, never again will the earth and all living things be destroyed. But notice too that God still states that Man is often against God, He is not excusing this but merely declaring that His response will not be to the destroy the earth. Judgment though is not eliminated. We now know that God desires is to restore mankind to Himself and therefore save Man from judgment through the person and work of Jesus Christ.
