Enoch - The First Recovering Person to Go to Heaven

And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methusalah three hundred years, and begat sons an daughters; and all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. Genesis 5:21-24

Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12

Enoch has no recorded sins against him, and no clear identified addictive patter. The Bible still sees him as a person, who sinned, for the Bible says “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23. But God says that Enoch walked, or entered into a pure relationship with Him, and after 300 years He took him, or translated him, to heaven without seeing death. Thus God tells us that a positive relationship with Him is beneficial. We will see a few of the interesting things that God has to say about Enoch in the next few days.

Prayer for Today: God, as you know, the idea of walking with you for 300 years is beyond our comprehension. And then to have the hope of being able to go to heaven without seeing death is pretty amazing as well. Help us to be able to study about Enoch and see what he saw, and do what he did. We need all of the positive role models that we can get. Thank you for your tender love, and your wonderful mercies.
