Genesis 11:1-9 is the story of the tower of Babel. All the people of the world gather together not just build a city and tower, but to show God they are more interested in doing life their way than his way. The marks of a life lived for self instead of God are: 1) pride, 2) disobedience, and 3) idolatry. The signs of living life for God instead of self are the opposite: 1) humility, 2) obedience, and 3) worship. God came down to teach the people of the world a lesson, but also so that one day he might reverse the scattering and lift those who trust in his Son Christ Jesus up. God’s ways are higher.
