What is the origin of man’s own way of contacting God?The source is man’s troublesome mind, which can produce nothing except knowledge. Hence, men contact God in the way of knowledge, not in the way of life.
Abel, however, contacted God in His way. His elder brother, Cain, contacted God in his own way.
God’s way is life; Cain’s way is knowledge. We all need to be careful. Although you may say that you are for God,
perhaps you are for God in your own way. You approach God in your self-invented way, and that way is entirely a
matter of knowledge. Do not follow that way.
We should observe the example of Abel and contact God by laying aside our thought, opinion, and concept.
‘‘Lord, I contact You in Your way. I don’t contact You by my thought, concept, or knowledge.
Lord, You are my way.’’ If we do this, we will enjoy God as the tree of life.
Abel did partake of God as the tree of life. He truly ate of the fruit of this tree.
