'And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know
good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the
tree of life, and eat, and live for ever...' - Genesis 3 vs 22 {KJV}
Hello Dearly Beloved of GOD and Esteemed in CHRIST, how are you? I trust that the LORD GOD has been gracious and of great mercy to you. Let's see what the Spirit says to us right now. Be Lifted!
Going straight to the point, observing our opening chapter, we see the record of how man fell, how that He ate that which the LORD had instructed Him not to eat. Now after He ate of that tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the Bible records in the verse 7 that the eyes of them both were opened. Uhmmm, man became corrupted. So the question is, why did GOD make the statement HE made as seen in our opening passage?, because the verse 23 shows us GOD'S action;
'Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.' - {KJV}
There must be a keen reason why GOD said and did what HE did. And the reason is this, the tree of Life was also in the Garden, and that tree was a symbol of Eternal Life. Remember, man was not restricted from eating of the Tree of Life, so as Adam became corrupted, if He had been left in the Garden and He went ahead to eat of that tree (the tree of Life), He would have been doomed eternally and unable to be redeemed/saved. You understand? Yea, so GOD did the best thing by sending Him out of the Garden for Man's own good. Phewww. I believe this answered many questions. Glory to GOD.
Now, it will interest you to know that JESUS is that Life Eternal, that tree of Life in the Garden was a symbol of Eternal Life of whom is a person, and that Person is CHRIST.
'And we know that the Son
of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know
him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus
Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.' - 1 John 5 vs 20 {KJV}
You see that, JESUS is revealed here as GOD, the true GOD, and also Eternal Life. So the tree of Life in the Garden was a symbol of CHRIST. Isn't it amazing that right from the beginning CHRIST has been with man?. O Glory! HE'S so close to you than you could ever have imagined. Okay that's aside. Now we see who this tree of Life is, it is a person, and the Person is JESUS. So if Adam had eating of HIM, Adam would have received Eternal Life in His corruption therefore making Him nonredeemable. GOD knew this.
Brothers and Sisters, I announce to you a hidden mystery that has now been revealed, it is too late for you to go to hell. Your highest sin can't undo the Eternal effect of having ate of the tree of Life. That's what John 3 vs 16 means when the LORD says, whosoever believes in HIM should not perish but have everlasting life. That's HIS Word and HE meant it. So if you want to know how serious this your Salvation is, see how important it was to GOD to send man out of the Garden just to ensure He didn't eat of the Blessed Tree of Life, then you will know how insured and secured you are in the LORD because you have eaten of HIM {believed on HIM as the CHRIST).
Waow! What's our job? Our job is to bring as many as we can to eat of HIM, once they've eaten they've eaten and it cannot be reversed, just the same way it would have been impossible for Adam's corruption to be lifted of Him if He had eaten of the Blessed Tree. Please tell your friends of this Grace, this is the Gospel of Peace, the message that brings Peace.
GOD Bless You.
