Read Genesis 6:9-22
God sought out Noah to establish a covenant: a promised commitment to save his family from the come just punishment upon the earth's corruption violence.
The violence and corruption had reached its limit with God and a punishing flood that would cause a mass extinction was coming. But a remnant, a family, a reset of the animal kingdom would survive.
I love the last verse of chapter 6. It shows the character and faith of Noah. "Noah did everything just as God commanded it." Noah had an upbeat obedient desire to please God. That is just the kind of person God still chooses to do His work today.
