The Enoch Challenge (Walking with God)

Good morning/afternoon/evening y'all,

Devotion bites

Dear Diary,

Walking with God

#The_Enoch_Challenge

Genesis 5 introduces us to the first genealogy. It begins by acknowledging that man has his origin in God, v.1. Specifically, it's Seth's godly line who stood for God in an increasing corrupt world

In this genealogy, Enoch gets a special mention as a man who pleased God, Heb 11:5. Enoch had faith in God. It is impossible to please God without faith. Faith is believing that God exists and that He rewards those who seek Him diligently, Heb 11:6.

Undoubtedly, he is a man who excelled in godliness, 22-24. He made every effort to live a holy life, he embraced God's ways. Truly, two can't walk together unless they've agreed to do so, Amos 3:3. Enoch must have had embraced and agreed with God's fundamental truth. Otherwise there's no way he'd hav walked with Him.

Enoch was a preacher of righteousness. He preached against the unrighteous lifestyle of his generation; he prophesied of God's coming judgment against ungodliness and immorality, 1:14-15.

God took Enoch. He entered heaven without experiencing death. Indeed, there's hope for future life to those who faithfully walk with God. Christ will come to take us from this earth to be with Him eternally.

If you're a born again Christian like me, let's ponder Enoch's life. We live in a wicked generation, but are we living a holy life; are we faithfully walking with God; are we embracing and agreeing with His absolute truth; are we preachers of righteousness; are we denouncing sin and warning people to flee the coming wrath; are we anticipating eternal life in the presence of God? If you're not a born again Christian, here's an opportunity for you to put your faith in God and embrace His saving grace.

Take the challenge.
