"Noah was a gracious man, one to whom the Lord had shown great favor, for he had put grace in his heart, and had given him faith, for it was by faith that Noah “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.” The grace of God was within him, and became the source and well-spring from which flowed the righteousness for which he was so remarkable. Grace is the root of every righteous character, so let grace have the honor and glory of it."

– C.H.Spurgeon, #3196 on Gen 7:1
