How does the story of Noah relate to righteousness in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Noah's righteousness was granted through faith, paralleling how believers receive righteousness through Christ.

The story of Noah underscores the concept of righteousness in the Christian faith as being attributed by God through faith. Genesis 6 describes Noah as a just man who found grace in God's eyes. His righteousness was not earned by works, but was a reflection of God's mercy. Similarly, Romans 10 teaches that believers attain righteousness not through their deeds but through faith in Christ. This reinforces the Reformed belief that true righteousness comes from Christ alone, making Noah a precursor to the salvation believers receive in the New Testament, where the righteousness of Christ becomes theirs through faith.
