The Westminster Shorter Catechism is famous for its first question, “What is the chief end of man?” and its answer: “The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” Of all the people depicted in Scripture, apart from our Lord Jesus Christ, there is no one whose description more closely attains this standard than that of Enoch, the seventh in the line from Adam.
So dear was this man to the heart of God that he took Enoch to himself without demanding that he suffer the pains of death. Therefore, it is no surprise to find Enoch in this procession of heroes of the faith in Hebrews 11.
