Maybe that his intentions were always in the direction of God?
Galatians 2
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

R: What made Job "blameless" and "upright" before God?
MM: Faith in and through Jesus, faith that works by love and purifies the soul. It's the same thing Jesus demonstrated while He was here in the flesh.

But how could they have such faith if they had not yet seen Christ in the flesh, was it that fully explained to Adam and Eve at the fall. Do you think it was Christ that walked and talked to Abraham in that dialog on Sodom.......

Do you think it was Christ that walked and talked to Abraham in that dialog on Sodom....... We haven't seen Christ in the flesh either. Certainly we have an advantage in having the Gospels and other records regarding Christ, but they must have known something in order to be justified by faith in Christ. The only way we know anything is by the revelation of the Holy Spirit, and He, of course, was just as able to reveal things to them as to us.
Those who wait for the Bridegroom's coming are to say to the people, "Behold your God." The last rays of merciful light, the last message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His character of love.

Richard, being like Jesus is not an accident. By beholding Jesus we become like Jesus. There is no other way to be like Jesus. Enoch became like Jesus because he beheld Jesus, because he fellowshipped with Jesus. The same is true of everyone who are like Jesus. By faith we behold Jesus. By faith we become like Him.
Is it easier to behold Jesus nowadays? Absolutely! Does it give us advantage? Yes! Nevertheless, the people who lived before Jesus' incarnation and earthly ministry beheld Him through the eyes of faith and were blessed to be like Jesus.

MM: What about all the times Gabriel communicated with people? The mystic ladder of his dream represented Jesus, the only medium of communication between God and man. {SC 19.2}
After the transgression of Adam, the Lord spoke no longer directly with man; the human race was given into the hands of Christ, and all communication came through Him to the world. {FE 237.1} Apparently, even communication sent through Gabriel was still dependent on Jesus as the medium.
