Hall of Fame!

Hall of Fame!

Many states have halls of fame. People are inducted into a hall of fame for many reasons. Hall of games are created for different reasons. We like to take note of extraordinary men and document their extraordinary circumstances and achievements.

Enoch was mentioned in the bibles hall of fame.

Hebrews 11:5-6

Enoch was in the faith hall of fame because he did not die and he walked faithfully with God! He left earth and went straight to heaven.

Genesis 5:18-24

What if you could skip the death and just go straight to heaven. What if there was a door and you could just enter it and go to heaven, would you open it? Enoch skipped judgement, skipped the agony of death, and just went with God! From life to heaven with nothing in between. Even Jesus did not escape death!

All of this was possible because Enoch had faith and walked with God all the days of his life!

By faith we are saved from spiritual death. Who doesn't want to skip death? Spiritual death is eternity in hell. Faith in God is the first step to skipping spiritual death!

Faith is about believing but the other side of faith is being faithful! Faithfulness is what God is looking for. Faithfulness starts with being content. If you are happy and content with God you will be faithful! Philippians 4:12-13

Enoch was faithful in a relationship with God for 300 years! God is pleased with faithfulness! It is impossible to please God without faith or without being faithful?! How faithful am I in my prayer life? How faithful am I in my reliance on Gods word? How faithful am I to Gods timing? How faithful am I in obeying Gods word?! How faithful am I in giving to God? You can answer these questions by asking how content am I?

Luke 22:42 Jesus was content with Gods plan for him! Jesus was content even though Gods answer was not what he was asking for!
