How To Walk With The Lord By Faith (3 Of 9)
Nelson Price
Hebrews 11: 5, 6
JESUS CHRIST has appealed to each of us to take up our cross and follow Him. He wants us to enter upon the path of service and walk by faith not sight. In every era there have been those He has trusted to walk by faith. Enoch is the second example summoned in the roll call of faith.
I. HIS WILL ''BY FAITH...''
At the age of 65 Enoch began his walk of faith. He continued it for 300 uncompromising years (Genesis 5: 21 - 24).
Bible revelation is progressive. Building on the faith as demonstrated by Abel in worship the logical progression is the right walk. Adam and Eve walked with God, but their sin disrupted their walk. Enoch now becomes an example of our spiritual walk with Him. His walk, as ours, must be by faith.
Without faith, it is impossible to please God (vs. 6a). Good works can't (Romans 3:20, ''by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight.'') Heredity, ritual, ceremony, charity nor any other good work apart from faith pleases God.
The first form of elemental faith is simply belief that ...

God has given us clues of His existence, but still he can't be proven by scientific method. For example, we can't prove Hannibal crossed the Alps on elephants. This is true because to prove a thing by the scientific method it must be repeatable. History can't be re-run and stopped at the time of Hannibal and his feat repeated. This is simply true because history can't be rerun.
Likewise, it should be kept in mind that one of the laws of logic is that you can't prove a negative. To prove a negative you have to know everything and be greater than the negative asserted. Thus, to prove there is no God, you would have to be greater than and know more than God. Then you would be God; and therefore, there would be a god = you.
Though we can't prove God by the scientific method there are some lines of logic that reveal His ...
