2. Context In Hebrews 11
Noah: Faith's Witness for God
Enoch: Faith's Walk with God
Abel: Faith's Worship of God
3. Hebrews 11:5-6
5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did
not see death, “and was not found, because
God had taken him”; for before he was taken he
had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please
Him, for he who comes to God must believe
that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those
who diligently seek Him.
4. Genesis 5:21–24
21 Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot
Methuselah.
22 After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with
God three hundred years, and had sons and
daughters.
23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred
and sixty-five years.
24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not,
for God took him.

17. Charles H. Spurgeon
What a splendid walk! A walk of three
hundred years! One might desire a change
of company if he walked with anybody else
but to walk with God for three centuries was
so sweet that the patriarch kept on with his
walk until he walked beyond time and space,
and walked into paradise, where he is still
marching on in the same divine society. He
had heaven on earth, and it was therefore
not so [unusual] that he glided away from
earth to heaven so easily.
18. Fanny Crosby wrote the following song:
"Take the world but give me Jesus
In His cross my trust shall be,
Till, with clearer, brighter vision,
Face to face my Lord I see."
