And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in thegarden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, forwhen you eat from it you will certainly die.”
What is the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil”? What was it all about? Thereare some who even think it was something evil? How could the perfect God createevil? All His works are good and perfect.All of God’s creation were good and perfect and that tree was part of the creation.“And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good.And the evening and the morning were the sixth day…………Genesis1:31KJV”In the rhetorics of men, there are some who even mock God as tempting Adamand Eve to sin, but that tree was no temptation from God. God never tempts manwith evil. Remember that the tree was not evil but good.“Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for Godcannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth He any man……. James1:13KJV”So what was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? It’s what sin is all about, ithas been played out over and over in the lives of men. The partaking of the treeof the knowledge of good and evil didn’t end in the garden of Eden, it’s still goingon.God said to man, you have the freedom to eat of any other tree but you mustnever eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Why? It is because thattree belongs only to God. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil didn’t just meana tree which after eating of its fruit you will be able to discern between what isgood and what is evil. It was more than that. It’s a tree of moral autonomy, it iswhere one gets to decide what is good and what is evil.Only the creator decides what is good and what is evil, the creature has no right todetermine that independent of God. Only God has moral autonomy.This has been the longstanding problem of man, the reason for the curse. Hewants to determine what is right and wrong, he wants to take the position of God.The creature has no right to decide what is right or wrong and how to live his orher life.So the serpent tempted and deceived Eve saying, after eating of this tree you willbe like God, you will have moral autonomy deciding what is right and what iswrong.It’s the very reason for all the sins men commit. Men became their own moralcompass. They became wise in their own eyes, trusting on their ownunderstanding.So the Prophet says,“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that count darkness aslight, and light as darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their ownsight!.......Isaiah 5:20-21KJV”Anytime you ignore what God has said to do what you want; you are no differentfrom Adam and Eve. Anytime you think you are right just because it makes senseto you or your friends, you are partaking of the tree of the knowledge of good andevil.When God placed the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the midst of thegarden yet commanded man never to eat of it, it was God’s way of telling themthat you live by my commandments and not by your own dictates or that of anyother. I only determine how you live; I am the reference point of righteousness.
Moral autonomy is what will bring in the antichrist age and the destruction of men,it’s the cause of all moral decadence and problems of men. A man one day willmake himself God determining what is right or wrong, a man who will become thelaw. he is the man of sin, the antichrist.Moral autonomy is self-worship, its idolatry. Are you the reference point ofrighteousness, do you determine how things are done independent of God’s word?If so, be careful and repent!
