Journey with me


This is a question I've heard people ask and wonder about - why there's so much evil in the world and why God can't just wipe out evil and leave only good. Let's add another question: why is it hard to do good things and avoid evil?
The Bible provides a simple answer. God created the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The Bible also states that iniquity was found in Lucifer's heart.
Let's discuss the trees God created. The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil implies that where there's good, evil is nearby. What I mean is that you can't know something is good unless you have knowledge of evil, and you can't know what evil is unless you know what good is. So, the knowledge of good isn't isolated from the knowledge of evil; the two help each other be identified.
That's why God didn't want humans to know good and evil - because evil is needed to identify good. The Tree of Life was meant for humans to enjoy, representing innocence and dependence. Our Lord wants humans to be innocent of the burden that comes from knowing good and evil, which is a constant battle to make the right choice.
The innocent have no worry about good or evil. As a dependent person can do no evil, anything they do is an instruction they've received, and it can't be credited to them because they're just a messenger.
When Jesus came to restore humanity to life, away from the knowledge of good and evil, He stated that only those who behave like little children can enter the Kingdom of Heaven. What do children have? Innocence and dependence. So, the Tree of Life, which our Lord Jesus brought back, represents dependence and innocence.
That's why the Holy Spirit was gifted to us to depend on everything, and our Lord commands us to obey His commandments if we love Him. Any Christian who surrenders their own will will enjoy the kingdom life here on earth. However, any Christian who uses the knowledge of this world will suffer bruises. Many Christians today are suffering because they're scared to let go of worldly knowledge.
Unfortunately, some celebrity preachers aren't helping matters. They preach worldly knowledge as the gospel and ignore our Lord's directives. I pray that the Lord brings us to a place where we can give up the burdens of this world and restore our innocence and obedience to the Word of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

Yours in the Vineyard,
Pastor Eze Chukwu

You actually didn't read it

You can't attack what you didn't understand

Please don't be lazy with reading

The header is enough especially as it is unnecessary and this embarrassment has been running and died down so why raise it again? Is that how much you hate God?

If you can't read your intelligence is questionable

Did you see anyone come to this read up to insult God, did you see any? Is just because they can read and understand.

But you fight with high level of ignorance

Which is sad
