Day 4: Enoch
Genesis 5:18-24
- Jared fathered Enoch at the age of 162 and lived to 962.
- Methuselah was born to Enoch when he was 65 yrs old.
- Enoch lived for 365 yrs and walked with God. Others who walked with God were Noah, Abraham and Issac.
- did not experience death (Heb 11:5). God took him away and he was "no more". This cross-references to Elijah who was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind and also did not experience death.
Application:
- How incredible it must have been for men such as Enoch and Noah to be able to walk with the Lord even after the fall of man. They are definitely examples to be followed; to live a life worthy of God.
10You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. 11For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, 12encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory. - 1 Thess 2:10-12 (NIV)
