God commanded Noah, "Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before Me in this generation." Noah's warnings had been rejected by the world, but his influence and example resulted in blessings to his family. As a reward for his faithfulness and integrity, God saved all the members of his family with him. What encouragement to parental fidelity!

Gud befalede Noa: "Gå ind i arken med hele dit hus, thi dig har jeg fundet retfærdig for mine øjne i denne slægt." 1. Mos. 7, 1. Noas advarsel var blevet forkastet af verden; men hans indflydelse og eksempel blev til en velsignelse for hans familie. Som belønning for hans troskab og retskaffenhed frelste Gud hele hans familie sammen med ham. Hvilken opmuntring for trofaste forældre!
