Apostle Grace Lubega
Genesis 2:17 (KJV), But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
WHY WE PREACH THE GRACE: THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL
The spirit of this world has over the years imprinted on the consciences of men “epic battles” of the fight between good and evil.
They communicate the ultimate deception that you do not need God to fight evil; only good can fight evil.
But, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was planted in the garden of Eden as a statement of the eternal principle that it is for God to fight evil and not just good to fight evil: the battle belongs to the Lord (2 Chronicles 20:15); Vengeance is of the Lord (Romans 12:19).
This is why Adam and Eve were never to eat or touch this tree.
Unfortunately, in our churches today, men are eating and touching this tree of the knowledge of good and evil and ignoring why it was in the garden.
They do so in teaching that all it takes is good to overcome evil.
This is primarily through the teaching of the law. For the law seeks to establish the testimony of divine victory purely by the good deeds of a man and ignores the infallible truth that “God worketh in you both to will and to do according to his good pleasure.”(Philippians 2:13).
The spirit of grace represents the fight of God versus evil. The spirit of the law represents the fight of good versus evil.
FURTHER STUDY: Philippians 2:13, Romans 12:19
GOLDEN NUGGET: The spirit of grace represents the fight of God versus evil. The spirit of the law represents the fight of good versus evil.
PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this knowledge. It is you at work in me in everything that I do: I am yielded to the spirit of grace by which you perfect everything concerning me. You fight and prevail for me. I fully acknowledge that it is all about you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
