Correct.

Then the LORD said to Noah, "Enter the ark, you and all your household; for you I have seen righteous before Me in this time." Genesis 7:1 (NAS)    

God fulfills His promise:

God waited patiently for men to turn from their sin...and prepared a way to escape the destruction that was brought about by man's sin. Consider these scriptures:

"By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith." Hebrews 11:7 (NAS)

"...who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water."
1 Peter 3:20 (NAS)

"...and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;" 2 Peter 2:5 (NAS)

God, the righteous judge, decided the method by which Noah would be saved.

If you lived in Noah's time, would you have decided to repent of your sin and enter that ark to be saved in the water with Noah and his family? Or would you try to save yourself outside the ark?
