By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; AND HE WAS NOT FOUND BECAUSE GOD TOOK HIM UP; for he obtained the witness (martureo) that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God. ever wonder has real power or ability,, this is it..
This word group (martus, martureo, marturia, derivative verb = diamarturomai = to solemnly testify - 15x = Acts 2:40 8:25 10:42 18:5 20:21 20:23 20:24 23:11 28:23 1Th 4:6 1Ti 5:21 2Ti 2:14 4:1 Heb 2:6) gives us our English word martyr which in the Christian context is defined as one who witnesses or bears testimony especially by his or her death because of their faith in Christ. In other words, when commanded to recant (withdraw or repudiate a belief formally and publicly) Christ or die, they choose to die, giving the ultimate testimony that Jesus is Who He said He was (is)!
one goes all the way the witness is one that operates out side of human sight, in order for faith to be re land bare fruit it must be the extent which exists out side our abilities to work.Enoch did not see physical death because he pleased God, it;s huge difference that guilt laden bondage found in a religion= means bondage by it;s very term,which seeks to bind many to be defeated by seeing only his or her sin not the new life.
The sting and deadly stigma produces no fruit just bondage. The life of faith produced amen not seeing death and the immense power that transcends the very physical world we live in Jesus demonstrates and his apostles and the Early body likewise operated in faith far removed from the latter Platonic and often powerless theology which would follow and demise the priesthood of the believers and the cessation of the Spirit's power to into a marriage of human physcology and platonic and gnostic theology, the loss would be great over the centuries.When comparing the the two states it;s not hard ot see the life from death..
Obedience of faith"), did not receive what was promised (They looked with eyes of faith and thus had a "conviction of things not yet seen." Father, give our wandering eyes, which are so prone to look at the temporal and worldly, Spirit enabled vision to see the unseen, the eternal, the blessed, sure, stabilizing hope found only in Christ Jesus our Lord.
This is huge difference between a religion and relationship one is alive the other is a mere human idea. Or philosophy.
NW IS FAITH WARD
