Genesis 4:25–26; Joel 2:32; Romans 10:13; 1 Corinthians 1:2
God gave Adam and Eve another son, Seth, meaning “appointed.” Through his line, men began to call on the name of the Lord.
Experiencing Christ Commentary emphasizes that this marks the line of life—a remnant depending on God amid corruption.
To call on the Lord is to invoke Him, enjoy Him, and live by Him. This is the testimony of God’s people throughout the ages.
Main Points:
- Seth represents God’s continuation of His purpose.
- Calling on the Lord defines the line of life.
- This practice continues with the church today.
Cross References:
- Joel 2:32 – Whoever calls will be saved.
- Romans 10:13 – Call on the Lord for salvation.
- 1 Corinthians 1:2 – The church calls on Jesus’ name.
- Psalm 116:2 – I will call on Him as long as I live.

Lord, make me one who calls on You daily.
Keep me in the line of life amid corruption.
Lord Jesus, be my enjoyment and portion.
Strengthen Your testimony in the church.
Preserve me in dependence on You until the end, Amen.
