“When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of

Methuselah. And after he became the father of

Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had

other sons and daughters. Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years. Enoch walked with God; then he was no more,

because God took him away.”

Genesis 5:21-24

What does it mean to walk with God?

Page 8: HOPE FAITH GOD’S WORD The only thing that changes a person’s relationship with God is God. God’s Presence God’s Power God’s Promises

It is a picture of intimacy, friendship, peace, tranquility, unity and harmony that God intended for His children.

“He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy

and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8

Spirituality in the OT and in the NT is the same:

walking with God in close fellowship.

The faith of fellowship

“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. For

before he was taken he was commended as one who

pleased God.” Hebrews 11:5

Page 12: HOPE FAITH GOD’S WORD The only thing that changes a person’s relationship with God is God. God’s Presence God’s Power God’s Promises

Our trust in God grows as we walk (fellowship) with God.

Page 13: HOPE FAITH GOD’S WORD The only thing that changes a person’s relationship with God is God. God’s Presence God’s Power God’s Promises

The closer we become to someone the more we see

who they really are.

Page 14: HOPE FAITH GOD’S WORD The only thing that changes a person’s relationship with God is God. God’s Presence God’s Power God’s Promises

You will never know how great God is until you really get to

know Him.

Page 15: HOPE FAITH GOD’S WORD The only thing that changes a person’s relationship with God is God. God’s Presence God’s Power God’s Promises

It says of Enoch that “he was commended as one who

pleased God.”

If you are a true believer that is YOUR desire!

“And without faith it is impossible to please God,

because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who

earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

Page 17: HOPE FAITH GOD’S WORD The only thing that changes a person’s relationship with God is God. God’s Presence God’s Power God’s Promises

Faith in this verse is described in two ways:

Page 18: HOPE FAITH GOD’S WORD The only thing that changes a person’s relationship with God is God. God’s Presence God’s Power God’s Promises

1. Trust in the existence of the one true God of the Bible.

Page 19: HOPE FAITH GOD’S WORD The only thing that changes a person’s relationship with God is God. God’s Presence God’s Power God’s Promises

Belief in God’s existence means a life that’s

transformed by the belief that God is present and

active in every part of our lives.

The real proof of God comes AFTER faith.

“The one who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself.”

1 John 5:10

Page 22: HOPE FAITH GOD’S WORD The only thing that changes a person’s relationship with God is God. God’s Presence God’s Power God’s Promises

2. Trust that God will reward those who are

faithful to Him.

Page 23: HOPE FAITH GOD’S WORD The only thing that changes a person’s relationship with God is God. God’s Presence God’s Power God’s Promises

Believing that God exists is the first step toward faith.

Believing that He rewards those who trust Him is the

first step of faith.

Page 24: HOPE FAITH GOD’S WORD The only thing that changes a person’s relationship with God is God. God’s Presence God’s Power God’s Promises

That is the beginning but to continue to please God we must fellowship with Him.

Enoch Preached for God.

“Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about

these men: ‘See, the Lord is coming with thousands

upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone,

and to convict all the

Page 27: HOPE FAITH GOD’S WORD The only thing that changes a person’s relationship with God is God. God’s Presence God’s Power God’s Promises

ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the

harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken

against him.’”Jude 14-15

Page 28: HOPE FAITH GOD’S WORD The only thing that changes a person’s relationship with God is God. God’s Presence God’s Power God’s Promises

He and God just decided to walk home together.
