"Enoch"

“Enoch”

Blessings folk!

Remember, we have been looking at the great cloud of witnesses of faith…

Heb 11:1
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.


By faith, men of old gained approval…

Heb 11:2
For by it the men of old gained approval.


By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the Word of God… though many who profess “faith” reject this.

By faith Abel offered a better sacrifice than Cain…

Now, the next verse…

Heb 11:5
By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.


Enoch…we will see more of him later.
Look at what the verse reveals about him.

He was taken up.
He did not see death…he did not die.
He was not found, because God took him.
He obtained the witness…from who? God.

Before he was taken up he was pleasing to God.

Can the same be said of us?
Are we pleasing to God?
What ‘witness’ are we obtaining?

Walk in faith.
The witness will come.
