A Walk, Not Just a Life
Commentators explain that the phrase "Enoch walked with God" describes more than mere existence; it signifies a life of active, constant communion. It means being reconciled to God, setting Him always before you, and consistently seeking to please Him. As Matthew Henry notes, while others simply "lived," Enoch "lived to God," demonstrating a practical faith that is compatible with the duties of daily life.
