No, If that was the case, Noah earned his salvation by working, and it was not a grace gift.
I am saying Noah (like abraham) believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness BEFORE he layed the first plank on the ground.
We are saved by faith, Our works are a result of our faith. Our salvation is because of faith, Not by works. The works, as paul said in eph 2: 10 are the result of our faith, and new birth.
Gods children WILL WORK. it is not an if they will work. And God does not force them to work, he does not have to. They trust him and are now empowered by him, so they WILL WORK.
Some may work more than others, and mature in Christ, but all of them will work

You are twisting the word....we are saved by Grace through faith ...Grace is God's work .... faith is us doing God's work
Our salvation is because of God's Grace through faith in him.
What you are saying may sound nice but when you say God's children will work it gives the impression they are programmed you are crafting the word to suit your doctrine. God always gives man a choice.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Here he says He created us unto good works...he didn't say you must or you will he said you should.
Look at this ..But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: You say one is empowered by him so they will work. He says I give you the power to become.
Building the ark was not the first time Noah believed God he was always a believer, it was not the first time he obeyed God he always obeyed. Go look at all the instructions he had to follow and see he did everything as instructed. Our salvation is in Christ he is our ark he has given instructions how to abide in him and bear fruit but men struggle against him to their own destruction.
