To save your family, be righteous, avoid sin, gain favor from God and be fruitful to your family and the world. God would talk to you and guide you on how to be profitable. Noah was righteous, and God favored him. God helped him to save his family. Noah listened to God’s directions and did as God led him. Noah built the ark for many years and dedicated himself, to save his family, and the animals. Genesis 6, NIV.
