The world was full of people who did not obey God. All except Noah and his family. God chose to save Noah from the floods that destroyed the world. Even though God only saved one family, through his Son Jesus, he saved everyone.
Read the story of Noah from a Story Bible or from Genesis 6-9 in the Bible. (Gospel Story Bible pp 11-14 or Beginner's Gospel Story Bible pp 14-19)

Jesus is our Ark - He saves us from God's judgement. The ark only saved one family In the flood, but Jesus died to save everyone.
Jesus is our Sacrifice - Noah's sacrifice soothed God's anger over the sin of the people. Jesus Is the sacrifice that didn't just soothe God's anger, but paid the penalty that we owed - death.
God always keeps His promises - Jesus is the greatest promise. John 3:16-17 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him."
