What does grace mean in the story of Noah?

Answered in 1 source

Grace in Noah's story signifies unmerited favor from God, saving him despite widespread wickedness.

In the account of Noah, grace is emphasized in Genesis 6:8, where it states that Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. This divine grace is what set Noah apart from the corrupt world around him. Notably, it was not Noah's righteousness that earned him grace; rather, his righteousness was a product of the grace he received. This showcases the doctrine of divine grace as central to salvation—indicating that it is by grace we are saved through faith, a message resonating throughout both the Old and New Testaments. Grace is the unearned, unmerited favor of God that grants us salvation and sustenance, exemplified supremely in Christ.
