The Best Example of Biblical Faith is not in temporary things but eternal relationships
The Best Example of Biblical Faith is not in temporary things but eternal relationships
How the OT creates a framework for the NT
Week 1 - Faith & Hope
Week 2 - Able Innocent / Worship
Week 3 - Enoch What Pleases God?
5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
What Pleases God?
Gen 1-3 God walked with Adam and Eve & Death is the consequence of Sin
Gen 4 Cain Kills Able - Cursed
17 Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. When he built a city, he called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch.
22 Zillah also bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron. The sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
Enoch means Dedicate or Founder
Cain’s line founded cities and tools
Seth’s line founded walking with God
Abraham (nomad) is from this line
Oenology Setup
18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he fathered Enoch. 19 Jared lived after he fathered Enoch 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20 Thus all the days of Jared were 962 years, and he died.
21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah. 22 Enoch walked with God after he fathered Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Thus all the days of Enoch were 365 years. 24 Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.
900 years for most of them / Enoch 1/3 of the time 350
Walked with God
Not just think (invitation)
He was not found - God Took him
Genesis 1–11:26 (3) Enoch, Seventh from Adam (5:21–24)
Man was not born to die; he was born to live, and that life comes by walking with God.… Walking with God is the key to the chains of the curse
How did Enoch walking with God Please God?
5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
