God saw that the world had become wicked and instructed Noah to build an ark to save his family from the coming flood that would judge the rest of the world. Noah obeyed God by building the ark according to God's instructions, taking his family and the animals onto the ark when the flood waters came. Only those who were inside the ark were saved from the flood; all those outside perished in the waters. The document draws parallels between Noah's ark and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, who is described as the Ark of Salvation and the only means of escaping God's coming judgment for sin.
