In his sermon titled "What Is It To Walk With God?", Fred Evans addresses the theological topic of the believer's relationship with God, emphasizing the necessity of faith in Christ for true communion with Him. He uses the life of Enoch from Genesis 5:24 as a focal point, drawing parallels between Enoch’s faithful walk with God and the believer’s journey today. Evans underscores that walking with God is fundamentally predicated on being in agreement with God, which is impossible apart from the righteousness of Christ. He supports his arguments with various scripture passages, notably Romans 3:10, Ephesians 2:13, and Hebrews 11:5, highlighting that reconciliation and sanctification come solely through faith in Christ. The significance of this doctrine lies in its affirmation of justification by faith alone, a core tenet of Reformed theology, which asserts that true communion with God is only possible through the work of Christ, not through human merit or law-keeping.
“You cannot merit the presence of God. If God's walking with you this morning, there's only one reason: His son, Jesus Christ.”
“To walk with God, you must be reconciled to God. You must be in agreement.”
“Walking with God by faith is the only means by which we can please Him.”
“If you want to walk closer to God, you should believe God in every circumstance and every providence.”
