Genesis 5 - The Family Line of God's People
Description
On Sunday morning, we looked at the family line of Seth from Genesis 5. We saw that God blessed the line of Seth, with many children and long life spans. We also saw the results of the fall played out with the repeated chorus: "and then he died". Yet this family line was quite different from Cain's in the previous chapter. People were named with God in mind, and their relationship with God was more prominent than their achievements. A highlight was Enoch, who walked with God and did not die. For Enoch, walking with God was the same as living; his life was defined by walking with God. If we believe that God is so important and Jesus is so central, is that reflected in our lives? Take time this week to thank God for Jesus, and to consider whether Jesus is central to how we live and act.
