God orders Noah to build and ark for saving of the souls of him and his house, because Noah is righteous in all of his generations. God has a way of rescuing those who will harken to His commands and be diligent to do all He commands. As a result of Noah’s obedience and patience God covenants with him and all of creation. Noah shows us that the proper response to God’s salvation is worship out of a heart of thanksgiving. We then, must give thanks in all things for this is the will of God for us in Christ Jesus.
