Guest Blog Post: The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil

God is looking for pure-hearted people that will stand on His Word and not live by the world’s standards of love, which says, “I’ll love you as long as you love me.” With all the hustle and bustle in today’s society, people are doing what is right in their own sight; living Holy takes on a whole new meaning. We lie, backbite and stir up trouble all in the name of Jesus. We profess to be saved, washed in the blood of Jesus, but can anyone see it? It is not enough to just go to church, jump and shout and get a good-for-the-moment feeling, but living holy is how we should live every day. What does it profit us to go to church and get nothing out of it? We all know people that are like this—saved and sanctified on Sundays and full another spirit during the weekdays. Is this the way God intended for His children to be?
Yes, Adam and Eve failed in the garden, but God left a new covenant, a new agreement that makes us new creatures in Him; we have no excuses for doing evil because our sins have been taken away by the blood of Jesus. He makes us new. If our behavior does not portray what a Christian should be, then pray to God that He will help mold and shape us into His image. With the Savior’s help, we do not have to remain the same.
No longer can the behavior of the first humans’ insolvency be used as a cop-out for our lack of self-control. The older generation says it best: “Every tub has to set on its own bottom.” We are responsible for what we do in our bodies, and every person will have to give an account, good or bad.
