All religions fall into two categories: self-righteousness and God's righteousness. Most religions require human effort to earn divine favor, while Christianity operates on God removing our sin so His goodness can remain in us. This distinction appears in Genesis with Cain and Abel's offerings. Cain brought produce from his garden representing human effort, while Abel brought sacrifice representing what God provides. Jesus came as the promised Branch from Nazareth, whose name means salvation. Through His death and resurrection, He became our Tree of Life, inviting us to find our righteousness in Him rather than our own works.
