The world's religions focus on behavior modification when what people really need is life. They are still in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, fixated on getting people off of the evil branches and onto the good branches by changing how they behave. They don't even realize they are in the wrong tree.
The answers they seek are found in the Tree of Life. And there is only one way to access that tree. It’s through Jesus. He is the way, the truth, and the life. Exclusively.
And here’s the best part. When we come to the Tree of Life through Jesus, when we taste and see that God is good, then we also find our behavior begins to change all on its own. It begins to line up more closely with the ideal those religious people strive for, but can never maintain.
Instead of being an outside-in thing, it works from the inside-out. All that is required is for us to abide in Jesus. That’s where your heart’s desires will be fully satisfied.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.” — John 14:6 (WEB)
