The path to walk with God is open

Hébreux 11:5–6 (NEG79)

5 C'est par la foi qu'Hénoc fut enlevé pour qu'il ne voie point la mort, et il ne parut plus parce que Dieu l'avait enlevé; car, avant son enlèvement, il avait reçu le témoignage qu'il était agréable à Dieu.

If Enoch had been pleasing to God by virtue of some extraordinary gifts and talents, or by reason of marvellous achievements and miraculous works, we might have been in despair! But if he was pleasing to God through faith, that same faith which saved the dying thief, that same faith which has been worked in you and in me—then the…gate at the head of the way in which men walk with God is open to us also. If we have faith, we may enter into fellowship with the Lord. How this ought to endear faith to us. The highest grades of spiritual life depend upon the lower ones and rise out of them. If you want to walk with God as a man of God, you must begin by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, simply, as a babe in grace.1
