9 This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.
At a time when humanity was deeply corrupt and violent, Noah stood out as a man who lived rightly and sought God. He wasn’t sinless, but he lived in a way that honored God, unlike the rest of his generation. Because of this, God chose Noah to build the ark and carry forward the human race after the flood.
Noah’s life shows that one person who chooses to walk with God can make a difference, even in a corrupt world. His story encourages us to live faithfully, not perfectly, but with integrity and obedience, regardless of the culture around us. God sees and honors that kind of life.
