God’s grace is never arbitrary. “Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy” (Proverbs 28:13). God gave His mercy to Noah because Noah was trying to serve God. Does this mean Noah earned God’s favor? No, Noah was still, like all men, a sinner. But, because he had a heart that longed to serve God, God extended His grace and provided salvation to Noah and his family when He wiped out sin from the world.
