Enoch's Walk of Faith

When the Bible says that someone “walked with God,” it means that person had a very close fellowship with Him. There was a close connection.

It didn’t bother Enoch to be out of step with everything and everyone else because he had such a rich fellowship with God—a relationship that was intimate, potent, passionate, and powerful. He wouldn’t have traded that for anything else.

God wants you to be so close to Him that when it’s time for you to leave earth and enter heaven, you won’t mind the transition because you won’t want to lose the connection.

REMEMBER:  We are rich in the spiritual realm because of what we have inherited by virtue of our faith in Jesus Christ.

Genesis 5:21-24 (NLT) -- When Enoch was 65 years old, he became the father of Methuselah. After the birth of Methuselah, Enoch lived in close fellowship with God for another 300 years, and he had other sons and daughters. Enoch lived 365 years, walking in close fellowship with God. Then one day he disappeared, because God took him.

Hebrews 11:5–6 (NLT) -- It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying—“he disappeared, because God took him.” For before he was taken up, he was known as a person who pleased God. And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him.

Jude 14–15 (NLT) -- 14 Enoch, who lived in the seventh generation after Adam, prophesied about these people. He said, “Listen! The Lord is coming with countless thousands of His holy ones 15 to execute judgment on the people of the world. He will convict every person of all the ungodly things they have done and for all the insults that ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
