GENESIS 5:21-24
ENOCH’S WALK WITH THE LORD was so close that Scripture tells us, "God took him" (Gen.
5:24). This implies Enoch didn’t die but was taken directly into the presence
of God. What a wonderful testimony!
As we seek
to follow God with this same passion, let’s review some specific steps to help
us keep up in our walk with the Lord.
RECONCILIATION.
This concept
carries the sense of God moving toward us. We can be joyful because the
responsibility is all His. Through the cross of His Son Jesus Christ, God has
already made His move in our direction. Scripture says, "Now all these
things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us
the ministry of reconciliation" (2 Cor. 5:18).
TRUSTING
GOD. We must have faith, not only that God is concerned with our
walk, but that He has, through Jesus Christ, provided all we need to walk
intimately with Him anytime.
AGREEMENT. To appreciate the closeness God longs
to have with us, we must agree with what Scripture teaches about His Son, His
Word, the church, and our problem with sin.
FELLOWSHIP. Just as human relationships fall apart without regular
contact, our intimacy with God weakens when we don’t spend time with Him.
Walking with God is not an impossible mission, but it does require careful attention to the details
of our Christian lives. When we set our course for God, He’ll always be there
to direct our paths (Prov. 3:5-6).
