Title: Enoch's Faith 07.HWP
The text repeats that Enoch's faith was a life of walking with God (22:24).
Regarding Enoch's life of walking with God, the writer of Hebrews tells us that he was pleased with God.
It is said that he lived a life like this (Heb 11:5).
(Hebrews 11:5) By faith Enoch was moved without seeing death, so God moved him so that he could be seen no more.
No, but before he was moved, he received the testimony that he was pleasing to God.
1. Enoch kept in mind the warnings of God.
“After the birth of Methuselah,” he began to lead a dogmatic life.
When I gave birth to a child, I often used that name to show God's will.
Methuselah, which means “send”, egotized the judgment of the flood. In fact, Methuselah was 969 years old.
He lived in the year that Noah was 600 years old, that is, the year of the flood (7:6).
Enoch did not take the judgment's warning lightly, but was alert and sober.
2. His faith has not changed from beginning to end.
After giving birth to Methuselah at the age of 65, Enoch walked with God for three hundred years.
At the age of 365, God took him away, so he walked with God all his life.
He must have had many ups and downs in his life. But his faith did not waver at all.
There was no change.
Our faith should not be weakened or changed by circumstances.
It is important to keep this faith until the end (Psalm 119:33,44; Matthew 10:22; Revelation 22:6).
(Psalm 119:33) Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes, and I will keep them to the end.
(Matthew 10:22) And you will be hated by all because of my name, but you will endure until
sleep will be saved
3. His faith was manifested in ordinary life.
Bonmon's record of Enoch is only three verses. He also walked with God and raised his children.
There is nothing special about it other than that she gave birth (22).
His life was an extremely mediocre life, with nothing particularly impressive or surprising.
Nevertheless, the writer of Hebrews praised his faith.
Even if our lives are nothing great, and the most insignificant and ordinary
In it, our faith shines.
