How do we know Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord?

Answered in 2 sources

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord as expressed in Genesis 6:8, indicating God's favor amidst widespread wickedness.

Genesis 6:8 explicitly states that 'Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.' This phrase signifies that despite the pervasive wickedness of humanity leading to God's regret for creating man (Genesis 6:5-7), Noah stood out as a recipient of divine favor due to his righteousness and faith. Grace, in this context, is depicted as a sovereign act of God whereby He chose to provide salvation to Noah despite the sinful environment. This event foreshadows the principle that grace is bestowed not based on human merit but solely on God's sovereign will.
