HEROES OF FATIH: ENOCH

(Message by Tanny Keng)

0. Introduction

a) Hebrews 11 is often called the "Hall of Faith" or the "Faith Hall of Fame." In this noted Bible chapter, the writer of the book of Hebrews introduces an impressive list of heroic figures from the Old Testament--remarkable men and women whose stories stand out to encourage and challenge our faith. Some of these heroes of faith are well-known Bible personalities, while others remain anonymous.

b) Let's look at Hebrews 11 Hall of Faith.

1. ENOCH - The Man Who Walked with God

a) The next member of the Hall of Faith is Enoch, the man who walked with God. Enoch so pleased the Lord God that he was spared the experience of death:

Hebrews 11:5-6

It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying—"he disappeared, because God took him." For before he was taken up, he was known as a person who pleased God. And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. (NLT)

The End ...
