  • I find it interesting that Noah is not the only person in Genesis who "walked with God". It says nothing unique re: Enoch. However, both he and Noah had their lives saved. Enoch “walked with God” (Gen 5:24) and had his life saved permanently Noah “walked with God” (Gen 6:10) and had his life saved, temporarily.

It is answered in the next verse, as well as the first verse of Genesis 7:

Gen. 6:9:

9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Gen. 7:1:

1 And Yahveh said to Noah, “Come, you and all your house into the ark, for I have seen you righteous before Me in this generation.”

He also was a "preacher."

2 Pet. 2:5 Noah, the eighth person spared, a PREACHER of righteousness,..

This would be pleasing to God.

I think the bible is clear; Noah pleased God because, just like Abraham, he believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Without faith, it is impossible to please Him.

Hebrews 11:6-7 (KJV)

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

But it says he found Grace/ favor with God,,,,it does say he walked with GOD,,,,,but if he were perfect,blameless,,why was there still a need for Grace! Noah did not go the way of the world. Do you think it was a heart condition?
