Genesis 6 has described the wickedness of humanity and God's reaction to it. God is grieved that He ever made man, and He has put a time frame on the time man has left to turn to back to Him before He destroys His creation. But not all humanity is wicked, not all humanity grieves the heart of God, "Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord".
God does not group all humanity together into a single unit of wickedness, there is a righteous man, and he is set apart by God. Noah walked with God, and therefore he found favor in the eyes of God. God holds each man accountable for his own actions. While the majority of the earth was corrupt and wicked, Noah continued to pursue God, walking in righteousness, and as a result, Noah found favor with God.
Those who walk with God in the midst of the wicked will not be grouped with the wicked by God. Let us choose to walk with God so that we may find favor with God.
Fight the lion, 1 Peter 5.1-11
TO GOD ALONE BE THE GLORY!
