What does it mean to find favor with God?

Answered in 1 source

Finding favor with God means receiving His grace, which enables salvation.

To find favor with God, as illustrated by David and Noah, means to receive God's unmerited grace. This favor is not based on any personal merit or works but is granted according to God's sovereign will. The Scriptures reveal that David was a man after God’s own heart, yet he was a sinner, showcasing that God’s grace covers all shortcomings. This favor is essential for salvation, as Romans 5:20 tells us that where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Therefore, finding favor implies being accepted and justified purely through God's grace, not through human efforts.
