Scripture to Read: Genesis 5:6-24
As we finish up with Enoch today, we need to know a little bit more about how God used him. We find Enoch also mentioned in Jude 1:14-15. Here is what God’s Word says about Enoch in the book of Jude, It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His holy ones, 15 to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” Enoch was used as a prophet of God. We read how Enoch prophesied, telling the ungodly of God’s judgment that awaits them. God powerfully used Enoch to proclaim His Truth to the ungodly who lived in his time. This same truth is still true today. Our Lord Jesus Christ is coming to execute judgment one day on all of those who choose not to surrender to Him as Lord and Savior. Many lost souls live all around us today. They need to hear about the love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness God offers them through a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. But the lost also need to hear that there is also a coming judgment for those who refuse Christ completely. Lost people need to know that God is both loving and forgiving, AND also that He will one day bring judgment on all who are unwilling to repent and turn to Him.
