Enoch - Walking with God (Genesis 5:21-24)

5: 21,22,23 And Enoch walked with God after he begot Methuselah three hundred years, and begot sons and daughters. – Even though he had children and a wife he walked with God!

Enoch walked with God for three hundred years.

Noah walked with God. (Gen. 6:9)

Abraham walked with God. (Gen. 17:1)

Jacob – God was Jacob’s shepherd (Gen. 48:15). Therefore, God walked with Jacob!

Isaac – Walked before the Lord (Gen. 48:15)

Who did Enoch walk with? God of the universe? I think Jesus, who specializes in man.

5: 24 And Enoch walked with God, and he was not; for God took him.

Enoch walked with God because:

·      He was His friend and like His company.

            ·      He was going in the same direction as God

·      He had no desire for anything but what lay in God’s path.”

He was one of those who “called on the name of the Lord”.

-Not legalism (before the Law)

-but obedience.

-but faith.

-focus on the Name of the Lord.
