Should I Know Good?

“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus answered, “No one is good—except God alone.” --Luke 18:19

Eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was prohibited, and that prohibition is still in effect. We are not to eat from it, for to the extent that we know good, we will also know evil. We eat from the tree for the appeal that we will be like God. However, our problem is that when we set out to know and practice good, we know evil, and we do not do the good that we wish; instead we do the evil. In short, we cannot handle the knowledge that comes from this tree.However, if we are intent on knowing good without the pitfalls of evil, then we can set our hearts to know God. God is good. God is love. The knowledge and experience of Him is freeing.
