“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.’” Why was he righteous? By faith. Just like Abraham later on was. We’re told Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness. Noah believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness. And by faith the writer to the Hebrews said that’s the reason God saved him. But have you ever noticed how gracious God is to this man in all of this time of judgment? It says, “Come thou.” The same invitation that the Lord Jesus gives today to all mankind. “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden; I will rest you.”
