Our Walk With God
By Jack Smith

Let us think of the beauty of the following words: “And Enoch walked with God: an he was not; for God took him.” (Gen. 5:;24) For Enoch to walk with God, they had to be of one accord (agreement). With Enoch walking with God, it most certainly suggest harmony, agreement, concord, fellowship and companionship.

If we are obedient to God, and doing His will certainly suggest being in harmony with Him.  In Amos 3: 3 the question is asked: “Can two walk  together, except they be agreed? Can we walk with God if we don not agree with Him?”

The apostle Paul teaches the same great lesson in 2 Cor. 6: 14-16 when he ask the following questions: “What communion hath light with darkness?  And what concord hath Christ with Belial? (or Satan)?  Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?  And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”  We must understand that we must be in concord and agreement with God if we are to walk with him. Rom. 8:1  points out: There  is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.

Jesus said “If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be:  if any man serve me, him will my father honor.

So let us follow Jesus and therefore we walk with God.
