Walking With God (Genesis 5:1-24)

Rev. William L. BarronRev. William L. Barron, October 1, 2017
Part of the Morning Worship at North Greenville Church series, preached at a Sunday Morning service

In a section of wickedness abounding, there is yet a point of light: Enoch. Enoch was not of the line of the first-born son (Cain). He was the seventh generation from Seth, as the wicked Lamech was the seventh generation from Cain. Like Noah later, Enoch was said to "walk with God." There is a special closeness to walking with God. It is marked by faith and belief; that God exists and is who he says he is, the only way to salvation. In the book of Hebrews, it is written that only the fool "says there is no God." To those who walk with God, He gives special rewards. Those who "pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ" are "designated for condemnation." (Jude 4).

Genesis 5:1–24 (Listen)

5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created. When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died.

When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered Enosh. Seth lived after he fathered Enosh 807 years and had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died.

When Enosh had lived 90 years, he fathered Kenan. 10 Enosh lived after he fathered Kenan 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11 Thus all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died.

12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he fathered Mahalalel. 13 Kenan lived after he fathered Mahalalel 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14 Thus all the days of Kenan were 910 years, and he died.

15 When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he fathered Jared. 16 Mahalalel lived after he fathered Jared 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17 Thus all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and he died.

18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he fathered Enoch. 19 Jared lived after he fathered Enoch 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20 Thus all the days of Jared were 962 years, and he died.

21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah. 22 Enoch walked with God after he fathered Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Thus all the days of Enoch were 365 years. 24 Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.
