Abstract

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that the word הלך, “to walk”, used in Genesis 5:22, 24 highlights and displays along the Old Testament essential features for the daily life of a true disciple. In the same way, it makes a contrast with Hebrews 11:5, a passage where the experience of Enoch is narrated. In that sense, the study analyzes more than twenty Bible verses of the Old Testament, which compared to New Testament passages, give evidence of the features of a true believer, and as consequence, for discipleship.
