''And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.'' Genesis 5:24
Genesis 5 has an awesome genealogy of some of the first people that lived on this earth. They didn't resemble monkeys or walk on all fours. From the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, humans have had logical thought, free will, and the ability to have a relationship with their Creator.
Not everyone chose to use that ability, though. Within a few more generations, God destroyed nearly all the earth's population for their wickedness. Enoch, however, left a legacy of righteousness. In between other entries in the list such as Mahalalel and Methuselah, we see Enoch - he walked with God. In fact, he had such a special relationship that God simply ''took him'' instead of letting him die.
What legacy do we leave in our family tree or in the world's history? Can people say of us that we walk with God?
