Genesis 5: Walking with God!

Rev. Doug Minton, pastor of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Milford, IL joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Genesis 5.

In Chapter 4, we hear of how God’s people were calling on His name. God reminds us how He is faithful to all generations and gives us examples of how we can walk with Jesus. The birth of Seth already points us to Christ as his name means “Substitute.” Christ is our substitute to take the wrath of God upon Himself. We hear of Enoch who walked with God and we pray that we would walk the walk of faith. “Let us ever walk with Jesus, follow his example pure, flee the world which would deceive us and to sin our souls allure. Ever in his footsteps treading, body here, yet soul above, full of faith and hope and love, let us do the Father’s bidding. Faithful Lord, abide with me; Savior, lead; I follow thee.”

(Lutheran Service Book 685)
