Romans 4:1ff.
"Every time you get a human being in a face-to-face encounter with God, you’ve got the potential for the redemption of the world. Now God wants that kind of relationship. Scripture says, 'Enoch walked with God.' We don’t know anything about the content of that in terms of religious activity or even ethical activity. But what we do know is that it was a personal relationship. Enoch and the Lord would take walks together and in the evening the Lord would go home and the next morning the Lord would come back and they would take another walk together. And then one day, at the end of the day, the Lord said, 'Enoch this is so much fun I don’t want you to go home, I’ll take you home with me.' And so the Lord took him. Now that’s the Genesis picture of how we’re supposed to live."
