And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
- Genesis 3:22 (KJV)
The main problem within the world today is that people want to be like God, but they do not want to be obedient to how He has told all how to be like Him. God told man not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but man chose to eat from it anyway. The crazy part about this decision is that the man already had full access to everlasting life. Basically, the struggle within the mind is to not take shortcuts with your spirituality.
Numerical Analysis: To stay in the Spirit, choose to listen to His voice. To stay in God's Word, focus upon Him. To be complete, you must choose to be like God without taking shortcuts. To be delivered, know the difference between good and evil.
