How do we know Noah's faith was genuine?

Answered in 1 source

Noah's faith was demonstrated through his obedience to God's command to build the ark, which he did for 120 years.

Noah's genuine faith is revealed through his actions in response to God's command. Hebrews 11:7 states, 'By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house.' His willingness to act on God's warning about the coming flood, despite the absence of any visible evidence, exemplifies true faith. Noah worked diligently to build the ark over 120 years, enduring ridicule from the world around him yet remaining steadfast in his belief. This reflects the nature of saving faith: it is active, results in obedience, and trusts in God's promises even when not immediately seen.
