"And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him." Such is
the record in Genesis, but when we turn to the eleventh of Hebrews, the
faith chapter, we find that "by faith Enoch was translated that he
should not see death; and was not found because God had translated him,
for; before his translation, he had this testimony that he pleased
God." Now, if Enoch, even amid the wickedness of antediluvian ages,
walked with God and pleased God, and was translated that he should not
see death, there surely can be no reasonable doubt that he was a holy
man, an entirely sanctified man, and hence one whose sins had been
washed away in the blood of the lamb, that was "slain from the
foundation of the world."
"Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations; and Noah walked
with God." The prophet Amos exclaims most pertinently, "Can two walk
together unless they be agreed?" It is certain, therefore, that God and
Noah were agreed, but God, who is infinitely pure and holy, can never
be agreed with any person or anything that is unholy.
