Genesis 5
Today's Scripture

Today's passage of Scripture is the genealogy from Adam to Noah. People lived a long time back in the early days of the world--I can't imagine living to be over 900 years old or becoming a parent after hitting the century mark. The world was certainly different before the flood came.

In the midst of the list of names is Enoch, who walked with God. It appears that he did not die in the usual way--God simply took him. In the midst of a world that was becoming more and more sinful before God told Noah to build the ark--a man is plucked out from Scripture--a man who followed God and was so devoted to him that God called him to himself without death.

Now that we that know Jesus Christ can walk with God too. Our names may not be in the pages of Scripture, but they are in the Book of Life. One day we will be reunited with the saints of old, with loved ones who have gone before, and we will see our Savior face to face. The Book of Life--that's one place I'm glad my name is listed!
