Two Trees, two Sources, two Ways, two Principles, and two Consummations: Choose Life!

In the Bible, we see two trees, two sources, two ways, two principles, and two consummations. The tree of life signifies the Triune God as life to man in man’s relationship with Him, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil signifies Satan as death to man in man’s fall before God. This […]
