In love, the Lord God still comes and calls us sinners today. Through his Word, the Holy Bible, he comes and calls us so we know where we are—far away from him in the condition of sin and shame and fear and death. But through his Word, he also tells us that he has kept his promise to send the Seed of the woman, who crushed the power of sin and Satan forever. He sent his Son, Christ Jesus, from heaven to earth, to bridge the distance between the holy God and sinful human beings and draw us back to him.
Where are you? Through Christ alone, God gives us a new answer to that old question. In Christ, God has reconciled us to himself, restoring us to a right relationship with him. In Christ, we don't need to run from God. Rather, in Christ we not only want to—but are able to—eagerly run to the Lord God daily for the forgiveness we need, the fellowship with him we desire, and the faith that looks forward to a forever with him in paradise.
The Tree of Life
The Tree of Life was God's gift to Adam and Eve, representing their eternal life through him. The forbidden Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil led to God's plan of saving people from eternal death through Jesus.
