The fight for and of Christian faith, is the fight to think and act in harmony with God's word in the presence of alternative ways of thinking and living. Every culture has its own stories about reality and human life that both harmonize and conflict in various ways with God's word. Both Noah's life and the account of it given in Scripture encapsulate this fight of faith that calls us to think and and live in obedience to God's word.

God is faithful to his covenant promise. This is seen in God's remembering Noah and all the creatures with Noah in the ark. God remembers Noah, or demonstrates his covenant faithfulness by his providential control of creation, purging creation of sin, and provision of a personal mediator. Though God's purging creation of sin through the flood is not a total purging, it is partial and a true picture of God's ultimate judgment against sin that will come and usher in through his personal mediator the Lord Jesus Christ a new creation free from sin. The post-flood world that Noah and his family and the animals occupy represents that new creation.
