Godliness
Pastor Fred Tow
One
of the most godly followers of God is Enoch, who was recorded in “Faith's
Hall of Fame” in Hebrews 11 . There were two qualities about Enoch that
stood out: Enoch walked with God and Enoch pleased God (Gen. 5:22-24;
Heb. 11:5b). Enoch walked with God for 300 years. There was a consistent
intimate personal relationship that Enoch had with the Lord that resulted
in Enoch responding to God by pleasing Him. They enjoyed and cherished
a close rapport. The Lord valued this special relationship with Enoch
so much, that God took His good friend home to be with Him. God was the
center of Enoch's life. In all that he did, he selected the option that
pleased God the most. God was the focal point of his life. Enoch was fully
devoted to God, which is what godliness is all about.
