THE WALK OF FAITH

 

   By A. W. Tozer

 

    Enoch walked with God. . . and God took him.   Genesis 5:24

 

        There are spiritual lessons for every Christian believer

    in the life of godly Enoch, seventh generation from Adam

    through Adam's third son, Seth.

 

        We are impressed that he could resist the devil and find

    fellowship with his Creator-God, for he lived in a worldly

    society headed for destruction.

 

        Enoch's daily walk was a walk of faith, a walk of

    fellowship with God. The Scriptures are trying to assure

    us that if Enoch could live and walk with God by faith in

    the midst of his sinful generation, we likewise should be

    able to follow his example because the human race is the

    same and God is the same!

 

        Beyond that, Enoch reminds us that the quality and

    boldness of our faith will be the measure of our

    preparation for the return of Jesus Christ to this earth.

 

        We walk by faith as Enoch did, and although it is now 20

    centuries after Christ's sojourn on earth, we hold firmly

    to the New Testament promise that our risen Lord will

    return to earth again!
