How do we know that Noah was righteous?

Answered in 1 source

Noah was considered righteous because he found grace in God's eyes and walked faithfully with Him.

Understanding Noah’s righteousness requires an acknowledgment of God’s grace. In Genesis 6:9, the scripture states that Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations, and he walked with God. This righteousness was not derived from his actions alone, but from the fact that God bestows grace upon those He chooses. Noah's obedience to God, as seen in his preparation of the ark, was a response to that grace. Hence, his righteousness was a reflection of his faith, which was evidenced in his works, in line with James 2:17, which notes that faith without works is dead. Noah's actions were thus an outflow of his faith grounded in grace.
