    Study Notes

    The Tree of Life: A Study

    • The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil: Represents the choice to live life independently of God.
    • Consequences of Disobedience: Reliance on personal ability and identity instead of divine design leads to problems similar to disobeying a parent. Individuals feel a lack of satisfaction or happiness.
    • Human Identity and the Ego: True identity is not in oneself but in a relationship with God. Pride, stemming from self-reliance, is counterproductive to God's plan.
    • The Tree of Life: Symbolizes love, trust, and reliance on God for identity, significance, and purpose.
    • God's Provision: God provides Adam and Eve, and us, with everything we need.
    • Choosing the Tree of Life: Choosing God is the solution to overcoming challenges and temptations. This involves rejecting the lies of the enemy and trusting in God's plan.
    • Practical Application: Requires conscious choices to rely on God; this creates victory over the enemy and allows one to continue down God's planned path.
