Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
På grunn av sin tro ble Henok tatt bort fra jorden uten å dø. Ingen kunne finne ham, for Gud hadde hentet ham. Før han ble tatt bort, visste Henok at han var til behag for Gud, fordi han levde rett for Ham. Derfor er det umulig å bli godtatt av Gud uten å tro på Ham. Den som kommer til Gud, må tro at Han er til, og at Han belønner dem som søker Ham med iver.
What Does This Mean?

Explained for Children
Imagine if your friend could skip all the boring parts of growing up and go straight to having fun with their favorite superhero. That's kind of what happened to Enoch; he skipped death and went right to where God was because he was so good at following God’s rules!
Historical Background
The Book of Hebrews is believed to have been written by Paul or one of his followers in the late first century AD, addressed to Jewish Christians. It emphasizes Christ's superiority over the Old Testament figures and systems.
Living It Out Today
Think about a time when you had to trust someone to take care of something important for you, like leaving your pet with a friend while on vacation. Faith means trusting God to guide our lives even if we don’t know how things will turn out.
