The sermon affirms that Enoch was a sinner, having been born in the likeness of Adam's fallen nature.
Enoch was indeed a sinner, as emphasized in the sermon, because he was born in the likeness of Adam, who fell into sin. This fallen nature means that he, like all humans, was spiritually dead by nature. Romans 5:12 asserts that sin entered the world through one man, Adam, and continues through all humanity. Despite his sinfulness, Enoch was able to walk with God because his sin was dealt with and forgiven ultimately through Christ, who is 'the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.' Thus, Enoch’s ability to walk with God highlights the grace and mercy that extends even in the Old Testament, demonstrating that salvation through faith was always in the plan of God.
