Genesis 5:22
Walking With God
what does it mean to walk with God? how can we walk with God as Enoch did??? for knowing this we need to understand that we can not walk with God because of our sins bible tells us that we are sinners and God is holy that’s why there is no chance that we can walk with God as a sinner. moreover, the Bible tells us that every sin is disobedience to God . the sin that we do lying, lusting, stealing, thinking, speaking and doing bad all these are against God and hates sins and will punish all those who do them. because God is just (Define: the Justice( Worldy System[ it is Divine Disobedience) and work cant help)god made us and choose sin instead of him and disobeyed God and because every disobedience have punishment but our punishment is death( Bcoz Sin Is Serious, Big and Eternal Consequetial bocz it is against God) which literally is separation from God for forever now how can we walk with God if we are sinners because we as sinner far from GOD and enemies of god For that God provided resolution to help us to walk with him He sent he son Jesus Jesus came and lived a perfect life and the end his life on cross by dying But why Bible says that God so loved us He knew will die for eternity because of our sins And as our punishment but he really loves us so he sent his son that who so ever believe in him will not perish but live eternal life with God That’s why Jesus came to take our punishments on him and so he died on cross that we can walk with God and he could do that because he is God the son Not just that Jesus died and rose again for. Grave as it was prophesied in scripture (OT) He rose again and gave a helper the holy spirit that we can by faith in Jesus Christ through the strength and guidance of HOLY Spirit walk with God Now because our sins are forgiven through Jesus death and resurrection. we now can walk with God through Holy Spirit
BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WALK WITH GOD?? We now know how to do it but now will see what walking with God actually is?
Genesis 5:22By faith, Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. And without faith, it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him
.
Hebrews 11:5-6 ESV
1. Word of God
AMOS 3:3 ( Agreement with God)
Knowing and believing His Word to walk with him
It is about walking in Rhythm, and More specifically, walking in the Rhythm of God
This is How you Agree God
(Gospel: Do we do God’s will? Point to Sins Do will Obey God’s Commands? Worship only true God, Obey Parents, Stealing, Lying, Killing ( Anger), Adultery or Idolatry, Covet(we are not to lawlessly desire anything that already belongs to others.) Sometimes we do them to be saved but we can’t do them for Salvation but these are a function
2. Enoch’s Worship
Well pleasing to God ( Heb 11:5)
Living life of pleasing God( Romans12:1-2, 1the4:3,5:12-18,22)
Ephesians 5:10
Psalm 104:34
I Timothy 2:1-4
Hebrews 13:16
Colossians 1:9-13
How( 1peter 2:19-20, Colossians 3:20, And Heb 13:15-16)
Phil 4:17-18/ 1Thes 4:1-12
3. Enoch’s Witness
Living life of Witness
God Knows you can’t Do it,
So he has given us the Spirit who will help you… By the power of Gospel to Do God’s will. We can know God’s word and Do his will.
We can be pleasing to God and witness to people.
But it is By Grace of God
By Grace, through Faith
Faith That saves us and faith that sanctifies us…
But Now as Christian on what we are to put our Faith..( I can not emphasize more!)
1. God Is Sovereign ( Genesis 39-45 Chapter, After His brother, Sold him into the slavery of Egypt)Remember God is in Control
2. God Loves you so much
( John 3:16 Gospel and Cross of Christ tells about God’s love)
Romans 8:28 ( His working for your Good)Genesis 50:20
problem Our is we see Hurt, Suffering, Trails, and Temptation as Weakness and bad but When we see it work of God and Our good… We can Rejoice then.
How should we actually look at them?
Why do we have them??
Let’s see.
1. Repentance( When We have sinned and being Disciplined)
2. Reliance ( When we don’t trust ourselves and other more than God)
3. Righteousness( that we may grow in sanctification)
4. Reward ( 2Cor 4:17, Preparing us for reward or reward will be there if we pass the test)
5. Remind( Phil3:10, Gospel) Get out of Guilt
The only person who is saved can see them this way but yes! He can have times where Trusting them fully don’t make sense or its hard
Now you know the purpose of this weakness, hardship, trials, temptation, and test…
Bcoz God Loves you and cares for youWhat is makes you feel when you trust God is Sovereign and loves you?.
Thankful and Rejoiced!!!
Makes you Gladly Submit to his Sovereign Plan for you and everyone
Trust it! Believe in him!!
Faith comes by Hearing Of God’s word and it becomes evident by listening and meditating on God’s Will…
Do you live a life of Faith…?
Is your life Pleasing to God? And Do people see God’s Goodness through you? Are you witnessing God??
How to Get people thinking of these truths throughout the week??
How can people take these truths with them ( After Sermon and service Ends)?
