"And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil." (Genesis 2:9)
There were two particular trees mentioned in Genesis 2. These were the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Human destiny was changed when Adam and Eve sinned and ate the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
How might human destiny have been changed if we had stories of Adam and Eve partaking of the tree of life!
Jesus came to give abundant life (John 10:10).
The last chapter of the Bible tells us that the tree of life will become available again and its leaves will be used for the healing of nations.
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations...Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. (Revelation 22:2,14)
I want to partake from the tree the life!
Many posts on this forum pertain to the knowledge of good and evil. These include the many questions and responses about the law and what applies today to whom. Other posts ask and answer directly about issues like right and wrong and good and evil. Admittedly, these are important issues. How might these forums be different if people spoke more about abundant life!
