Herald of Maranatha:
Fresh From God
Topic: knowledge, fear and Faith
(Discipleship)
Genesis 2:17 KJV
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Wrong Knowledge brings fear and fear hinders faith. In as much as the knowledge of God enhances our faith, the knowledge of anything ungodly could easily dissolve it.
Knowledge could generally brings fear or boldness, knowing much about anything can either make you afraid or bold.
The knowledge of the devil, with a corresponding knowledge of God can make you fear the devil. Fear could be negative or positive, the knowledge of God causes a positive fear, the fear of God.
The knowledge of God leads to the fear of God, which leads to faith in God. Lack of faith in God is highly ridiculous to the Most High, doubting God means regarding what God created above God, that could only be a result of a poor knowledge of God.
From our text, what followed God's instruction was that man disobeyed and ate the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The consequences of the knowledge are:
Death as God earlier said.
Negative fear.
Genesis 3:10 KJV
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
The negative fear is the fear of God's judgement due to their sin, not a reverence for God.
A pure knowledge of God gives us a reverence for God, and when we reverence God we place Him above all things, all situations and all beings and in that alone can our faith find a full Expression in Christ.

Life application
Consciously stop the knowledge of evil, stop seeing or listening to things that teaches evil. Be deliberate about increasing in the knowledge of God and ignore things that can reduce your trust in God. Study the scripture daily to know God more that you may grow in faith.
I choose to live by faith and not by normal beliefs.
Choose to believe in God, beyond your logical reasoning
Endeavor to always apply faith everything you do. Consciously depend more on Go . Decide to live daily by the word of God. Put God first in all your considerations, and dare to obey Him always.
Deliberately engage faith in possessing everything you need for perfection in Christ Jesus. Build yourself up in faith. Desire to make living by faith a lifestyle.
