A WALK ACROSS LIFE
Gen. 5:21-27, Hebrews 11:5, Jude 14-16
Rex Yancey
Enoch walked with God. Enoch walked with God by faith, Enoch testified of the coming judgment of God as he walked.
Peter Jenkins was a student of Alfred University in the late sixties, early seventies. It was the height of the Viet Nam war, and Peter was sick of America. He thought about becoming a draft dodger and skipping to Canada. One of the janitors at the University challenged him to walk across America before he gave up on it.
He got saved at a James Robison crusade in Mobile, Alabama. He wrote A walk across America, The walk west, the road unseen and a walk across China.
The Walk across America is one of the greatest books I ever read as it chronicled his experiences in word and pictures. However, there is a journey that is more exciting and significant that that. It is a walk across life with God.
Joe Tuten said, “It is a blessing to walk…Adam walked with God until he decided he could not trust God anymore. Cain murdered Abel; the society was getting more corrupt every day. But there was one who stood out. Hid name was Enoch.
What does it mean for us to walk with God today?
1) IT MEANS WE ARE GOING IN GOD’S DIRECTION.
If you walk with someone it means you are going in the same direction. Enoch did not walk behind God as though God was his example only. He did not walk before God as though he could make his own decisions. He walked WITH God.
God shows us the way he is going. John said, “He that saith he abides in him ought to walk as he walks.” Peter said, “Christ has left us an example that we should follow in his footsteps. Where did he go? Synagogue, Samaria, solitary place, suffering.
A. We are to walk in reconciliation.
Amos said, “Can two walked together except they be agreed?” People who walk together agree, have sympathy for each other, and are in harmony. When Adam got out of step with God, a reconciliation had to take place.
