Noah why was he found right with God

GEN 6 THE MAN NOAH AND THE FLOOD

Out of all the\ Earth why was Noah found to be right with God?

Mac 6:8 But Noah found grace. Lest one believe that Noah was spared because of his good works alone (cf. Heb. 11:7), God makes it clear that Noah was a man who believed in God as Creator, Sovereign, and the only Savior from sin. He found grace for himself, because he humbled himself and sought it (cf. 4:26). See notes on Is. 55:6, 7; he was obedient, as well (6:22; 7:5; James 4:6–10).¹

He looked for the Lord and this is what granted him Grace. God selects those who seek after the Lord and rewardes them by saveing them.

God sees the sin of the world and judged it by making a flood. This is a character of God that he is not into sin. Judgment

NOAH, HIS FAMILY, AND THE ANIMALS ENTER THE ARK

And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation [Gen. 7:1].

Why was Noah righteous? It was by faith, just as later on Abraham was counted righteous because of his faith: “And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness” (Gen. 15:6). Noah believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness. “By faith Noah … prepared an ark …” the writer to the Hebrews said (Heb. 11:7). That is the reason God saved him.

Have you ever noticed how gracious God is to this man in all of this time of judgment? Here in verse 1 He says “Come thou….” This is the same invitation that the Lord Jesus gives today to all mankind: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will you rest” (Matt. 11:28). Then in verse 16 of this chapter, we read, “And the Lord shut him in.” Isn’t that lovely? And finally, chapter 8 opens, “And God remembered Noah.” How wonderful! God could very easily have forgotten all about Noah. Years later He could have said, “Oh my, I forgot all about that fellow down there. I put him in an ark and forgot about him!” That would have been too bad, wouldn’t it? But God did not forget. God remembered Noah. God never forgets. He remembers you. The only thing that He does not remember is your sin if you have come to Him for salvation. Your sins He remembers no more. What a beautiful thing this is!

invites a bitter contrast with the Creation story of 1:31. Man’s evil is presented intensively by the words every … only … continually. Imagination is derived from the potter’s verb formed used in 2:7 and implies a design or purpose. What an indictment against the hearts of fallen men. So evil had men become by the days of Noah that it repented the Lord that, he had made man on the earth. The word repented does not mean that God made a mistake in His dealings with men, but rather indicates a change in divine direction resulting from the actions of man. It is “an anthropopathic” (a human emotion applied to God) description of the pain that is caused to the love of God by the destruction of His creatures (Delitzsch, Vol. 2, p. 225). So evil had man become that God, moved by compassion, decided, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth. There is one footnote, however, to this universal destruction. It is not only a footnote, but the preface to a whole new chapter in the history of mankind. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. In Hebrew grace comes from a root meaning “to bend or stoop”; thus, the condescending or unmerited favor of a superior person to an inferior one is implied. This is its first occurrence in Scripture, and it is often used redemptively (Jer 31:2; Zech 12:10). Mankind, the beasts of the field, and the fowl of the air would be destroyed. But God would call out a remnant unto Himself.²
