"But you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it, you will certainly die."
Genesis 2:17 NIV
"Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them."
Mark 7:15 NIV
The two verses are juxtaposed with each other giving a contrarian view, however, a little pondering reveals that sin entered man through Adam's choice of disobedience and the consequence still exists within us. For we now have the knowledge of good and evil and yet at times toe the latter. That is why Christ offers his body for us, as our saving grace, if we are dependent on His grace, it is sufficient for us. For Christ has overcome all, even death.
I pray that God our Father fills you with his love and grace so that all that is, not of his Kingdom, may be emptied from you, making a place for His son Jesus to dwell within you. And may His Holy Spirit Bless and keep you at all times. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
