Sin and its consequences — the Flood and God’s covenant.

The Journey 
Study notes from ESV® Gospel Transformation Bible
“Prior to the flood, Noah walked with the Lord, trusting in him at all cost. Divine grace kept Noah close to the Lord, so he walked with God and lived a life of wisdom (6:9). Noah is thus one of the great examples of what it means to live by faith (Heb. 11:7). Noah executed the mission of building the ark with integrity (cf. Matt. 24:37–42).
When the flood wiped out the rest of humanity, Noah became a second Adam figure, bringing comfort to humanity by being an instrument of the renewal of God’s blessing (Gen. 9:1, 7)”
