How do we know that Noah was justified before God?

Answered in 1 source

Noah's justification comes from his faith, as he is described as 'righteous' before God (Genesis 6:9, Hebrews 11:7).

Noah's justification before God is grounded in his faith, which is notably highlighted in Hebrews 11:7. This verse points out that Noah was 'moved with fear' and built the ark, indicating that his response to God’s warning and his subsequent actions were driven by genuine belief. The righteousness attributed to Noah was not based on his own merits but was imputed to him because of his faith in God—echoing the doctrine of justification by faith. In Genesis 6:9, it states that Noah was a 'just man, perfect in his generations,' which underscores that he was seen as righteous by God due to the grace he received and his faith in God’s promises.
