Rather than enduring God's wrath Noah is saved by God in the Ark; rather than just proving his faith in God when he reaches the Promised Land, Abraham's faith is strengthened by the testing; Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt but rather than HIS faith in God being rewarded merely when the Red Sea parts to allow the Israelites to escape Pharoh's chariots, that faith is strengthened to see the glory of God in the keeping of His promises to His covenant people; rather than Moses delivering the Ten Commandments as his "final" message, they are more nearly the beginning of a long and fruitful ministry to his beloved Lord & the beloved people his Lord elected.
