  9. TO WALK WITH GOD IS: • To be in agreement with Him (reconciled to Him) 2 Corinthians 5:20 “be reconciled to God” • Conducting ourselves as being under the continual inspection of His all-seeing eye – Hebrews 4:13 “no creature is hidden from His sight” • To live a life of fellowship with Him and obedience to him – 1 John 1:6,7; 2:3,4 • To please Him in everything, and offend Him in nothing - 1 John 3:22

  11. Enoch’s Message to Us? • IF we walk with God, as he did, it will please God and when Jesus returns he will take us into the Heavenly realm • To be pleasing to God, must be forgiven and justified by the shed blood of Christ • Must render obedience to the Gospel of Christ: Believe, Repent, Confess, be Baptized • Be faithful till death, receive the crown of life – Revelation 2:10
