"By faith Enoch... pleased God"
Text: Hebrews 11:5
FALSE UNDERSTANDING ABOUT GOD
There are some who think that the God of the Old Testament was One who was always angry! It seemed as if nothing ever pleased Him! The following text offers a strong rebuttal.
FAITH PLEASES GOD
We have a strong statement about what pleases God in this text.
“By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death,
‘and was not found, because God had taken him’;
for before he was taken he had this testimony,
that he pleased God.”
Hebrews 11:5

“After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God
three hundred years…”
Genesis 5:22
