The Scriptures make it very clear that without faith it is impossible to please God, and surely we want to please God (Hebrews 11:6) This Scripture relates to Enoch who walked with God and as a result did not see death. It appears that Enoch's walk with God was a faith walk. Enoch's first 65 years evidently did not amount to anything worth mentioning, but when he was 65 years, he had a son called Methuselah.
His reward for walking with God for the next 300 years of his life was that he did not die and was not buried for God took him straight to Himself. What a reward. Obviously they searched for him, for Hebrews 11:5 says that he "was not found because God had translated him."
It requires faith to walk with God and anything else will not please Him, full stop.
The name Enoch comes from a primitive root, "chanak" meaning "to narrow, to initiate or discipline." Perhaps Enoch's first 65 years were not narrow enough or without discipline. Something must have happened to Enoch following Methuselah's birth. Methuselah's name means "man of a dart, missile, or attack.
It often takes something like the birth of a child to make a man straighten up!
