Eating the tree of life causes us to be dependent on God, to depend on Him as our life, but eating the tree of knowledge of good and evil causes us to rebel against God and be independent of Him. Oh, Lord Jesus! Our Christian life is not a matter of doing the right […]
Discern things according to Life or Death and Remain in the Enjoyment of Christ as Life
We need to know the significance of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and turn absolutely from this tree to the tree of life; we need to discern things according to life or death not according to right or wrong, good or evil. As believers in Christ, we are children of God […]
