THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
Owls teach us wisdom and sagacity.
And not to put our hands into hollow trees.

God had placed TWO special trees in The Garden of Eden.
One was the "Tree of Life."
One was the "Tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
If Adam & Eve had made the RIGHT choice, all humanity would have been born in a state of innocence and obedience to God. But they made the WRONG choice, and we all suffer from the consequences of sin.
Driving man from the garden was an act of MERCY.
If man had eaten of the "tree of life" in his sinful state, he would have become eternally sinful.
But God took away that opportunity in His great mercy. God's desire is that man will come to repentance and salvation. Then, he will be able to partake of the "tree of life" in a forgiven and eternal state of being.
God has revealed that He knows our sin; and He has provided the gift of forgiveness. Sin cannot be hidden from God, and God comes looking for the sinner; calling him to repentance and salvation.
Rom 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
KJV
Luke 19:10
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
KJV
Aren't you glad Jesus came seeking you, so you could make the RIGHT choice?
Love ya,
