God is holy and merciful. He saw that there was so much evil in the world and he wanted to preserve mankind.

Still very hard to explain, but God saw the entire world had come to evil, and if God had not intervened with the flood, would have destroyed the whole world by their actions. God made a convenient with Noah, because he was good and show His rejection of violence.

It’s explains God holiness and attendant preservations of the good from ultimate destruction of the evil amongst human genealogy. That is God’s restarts humanity of the premise of the good that He found within/about Noah and his household.

Humanity is on a path to destroy itself and all that God created. God uses the one man (and his family) not totally given over to evil to give humanity a new start. Out of love for His creation, God gives us a second chance.
