Sticky Note:  God is pleased with you...now, go walk with Him

Through the stories of Enoch and Noah, God is introducing the beginning of the end of death and suffering.  That story would culminate in the coming of Jesus whose death on the cross and subsequent resurrection would conquer death, and whose suffering would secure the eventual end to our sufferings forever.

Faith produces faithfulness.  Faith is believing that God is already pleased with us because of the faithfulness of Jesus.  With that faith, we begin to walk with God, with the faithful Jesus living inside of us by His Spirit, producing faithfulness that pleases God.
