Genesis 4:26 (ESV)
To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time people began to call upon the name of the LORD.
A Theme to Remember:
Many scholars view this verse as the first in Scripture to mention prayer. More accurately it is the first example of people collectively worshiping their Creator. At this early stage in human history, men and women were already divided according to their faithfulness to God. Nothing has changed in the ensuing millennia – offering up daily prayers is a witness and demonstration of devotion to the Lord.
Words to Remember:
Now the church is not wood and stone, but the company of people who believe in Christ.
–Martin Luther
