An illustrated journey through Scripture

The Gospel

From the Two Trees to the Tree of Life

Trace the one story of God’s life-giving grace—from Eden’s gift and humanity’s exile, through Jesus the true Son, to the renewed creation where the nations eat from the Tree of Life.

Genesis 2:8–17

The Two Trees

Life begins as God’s gift: humanity is welcomed into His garden, given a vocation, and taught to trust His wise boundary.

The Tree of Life stands within the abundance God provides. Genesis names the other tree as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; it does not give a lexical definition of that knowledge as ‘moral judgment seized apart from God.’ Our teaching uses that phrase as a theological reading of the narrative boundary: humanity is called to receive wisdom from the Giver rather than grasp autonomy from Him. The first human calling is relational—receive life, trust the Giver, and cultivate His world in faithful fellowship.

Life is received before it is achieved.

The invitation

Receive Jesus Christ.

Turn from self-rule and trust the crucified and risen Son. Salvation is God’s gift of grace, received through faith. In Christ you are forgiven, welcomed, and given the Spirit—the beginning now of the life that will fill God’s renewed creation.
