Dr. Bryan Stensaas dives into Genesis 2, showing how God placed Adam (alone at first) in Eden with two special trees: the Tree of Life as a reminder of total dependence on God, and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil as the test of obedience. Disobedience didn't make the fruit evil; it severed man from his Source of Life, bringing spiritual death (separation from God) and eventual physical death. Like a branch cut from a tree that looks alive but slowly withers, every person born after Adam is separated from God (being dead in sin) until reconnected through faith in Christ. Stay dependent on Him; only He is the true Source of Life.
