And now I am finishing with
Enoch was in the flesh when he pleased God, as he lived a life characterized by faith and obedience before being taken by God without experiencing death. He is noted for his close relationship with God, ~GQ
By faith
Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death: He could not be found, because
God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who
pleased God.
Enoch was pleasing to
God because
he not only lived his life by faith in the
God of heaven and earth, but he also lived his life in intimate communion with
God.
Enoch’s righteousness set him apart. He consistently made choices that aligned with God’s moral standards. Enoch’s commitment to righteousness pleased God, as it demonstrated his desire to live in accordance with God’s commands. His righteous actions were not driven by legalism, but by a genuine love for God and a desire to honor Him in all aspects of life.
Enoch’s unwavering faith serves as an example for us to follow. Hebrews 11:5 states, “By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: ‘He could not be found, because God had taken him away.'” Enoch’s faith in God’s promises and his complete trust in Him allowed him to experience a unique and extraordinary outcome. Enoch’s faith challenges us to trust in God’s faithfulness and believe in His promises, even when circumstances seem impossible.
HE WAS A MAN IN THE FLESH. HE HAD A FATHER. HE HAD A SON. AND HE HAD FAITH.
