The Meaning of Walking with God
Commentators explain that to "walk with God" signifies an active, intimate, and constant relationship. It involves living as if always in God's presence, seeking to please Him, and enjoying close communion. This phrase, used instead of simply saying Enoch "lived," highlights a life of faith and reconciliation that was centered on God rather than self or the world.
