The rainbow would, from that point on, convey that lesson.

The worldwide Flood was a vast historical lesson which God chooses not to repeat. He attached a covenant (Genesis ch.9) to this decision, to teach us that the lack of another worldwide flood is deliberate on His part, and not just due to natural causes. And because of Noah's righteousness (Genesis 6:9), God spoke this covenant to him, instead of waiting and revealing it to some later deserving person.
