Genesis Chapter 5

Both Enoch and Noah “walked with God” (Gen. 5:24; 6:9). To “walk with God” is the ideal standard for a believer (Lev. 26:3-12; Col. 2:6-7; Gal. 5:16, 25; cf. Rev. 3:4).  Walking with God does not mean sinless perfection, but does mean that when the believer sins, he handles it in a biblical manner (e.g. David 2 Sam. 12:1-23; cf. 1 Kings 11:4; 1 Jo. 1:8-10).  Walking with God means we go in the same direction God is going, and like a friend, we are glad to share in His fellowship (1 Jo. 1:1-10).  Walking with God means He is regularly in our thoughts, and we live every day conscious of Him and His will for our lives (Rom. 12:1-2; Col. 3:16).  Walking with God means we are open and honest with Him about everything, and agree to let His light shine in our lives, not fearing what it exposes (1 Jo. 1:5-7). Walking with God means being sensitive to what may offend Him, and making every effort to please Him through a life of faith (Heb. 11:6). Walking with God means learning His word and living by faith in every area of our lives (Rom. 1:17; 10:17; Heb. 11:6; cf. Gal. 5:16, 25).
