How does the story of Noah align with the doctrine of election?

Answered in 1 source

The story of Noah illustrates the doctrine of election as God chose to save Noah and his family while condemning the rest of humanity.

The story of Noah serves as a clear narrative illustrating the doctrine of election in Reformed theology. God's decision to save Noah, while condemning the wickedness of humanity, exemplifies the sovereignty and grace of God in choosing whom He will save. This selection underscores the biblical principle that God has mercy on whom He chooses and hardens whom He wills, as reflected in Romans 9:15-16. Noah was no more deserving than any other human, yet he was chosen by God to be a recipient of grace. This important aspect of God's nature reveals that salvation is not based on human merit but is solely a work of His divine election and grace.
