Knowledge of Good & Evil

When God planted the Garden of Eden, two trees were named, the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Man was given the tree of life to eat, but told not to eat from the other. In disobeying, mankind decided that they would decide what was good and what was evil, turning from God's good direction. Jesus would come to finally walk according to the God's will and in dying on the cross, brought the evil the world in contact with the goodness of God, thus offering life once again.
