"Then the Lord said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this time" (Genesis 7:1).
Federal Visionists love to argue that verses like this prove that man can be righteous apart from God. Pelagian alert! This is simply twisting the Scriptures for their own benefit.
We know that “there is none righteous” (Romans 3:10). Thus, this verse must be speaking of positional righteousness, not experiential righteousness.
So, when the Lord says that he “sees” that Noah is righteous, the Lord sees Noah wrapped in the robes of righteousness that only come through the righteousness of Christ (Zechariah 3:1-5).
