As I read the Bible, I wonder at the way the Lord used certain people and why. These Old Testament people didn’t have the cover of the blood of Jesus, yet, they loved The Lord and God used them to further His purpose.

How were they different from other men of their time?
Enoch, walked with God. Believed that God is and He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

What does it mean to believe that God is?

I think we tend to believe that God doesn’t do that anymore. He used to heal the sick, give sight to the blind, make the lame walk. He only does it now if it is His will today, forgetting that He said only believe and these signs shall follow.

Mark 16:15-20
King James Version (KJV)
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creäture.

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

These signs should be following those who believe. We should say to that mountain be thou removed and cast into the sea.

As Christians we do not see the glory of God, the majesty of the Lord because we have forgotten how to believe.

First we must believe God is and He also rewards those who truly and diligently seek Him. Too often we seek what we think we need. Money, wisdom, healing, peace. When in reality if we were to set our face towards God all our needs would be met.

So many of us seem to only believe He saves. Why believe this and not the rest?
