The Faith of Enoch

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. Hebrews 11:5

Enoch walked, talked, lived and then… one day was gone! What was so different about Enoch? Was it the fashion of his clothing, the color of his hair, the crowd that he hung out with? Maybe it was his mansion on a hill… or his political orientation? Or his faith in his parents religion…?

The difference… his faith in God. He “walked by faith, not by sight” (2 Cor. 5:7). Enoch’s daily walk with God was pleasing to God. Is our daily walk pleasing to God?

This Enoch, the seventh generation from Adam pleased God before the flood came…

Before the elder Abraham…

Before the Law of Moses…

Before the testament of Christ came forth…

Before the church came Enoch… and like Enoch the church will one day… be gone (1 Thess 4:16-17)

What inspired Enoch? Who held him accountable? Who encouraged his heart? God did.

The same God will inspire you… hold you accountable… encourage, uplift, who will walk with you… if you choose… if we come to Him with an open heart and by faith believe that anything is possible with God (Matthew 19:26).

Faith pleases God. Belief and trust in Him pleases Him. Believe God today!
