I Issued the following Blog in 2011 concerning Christ as the Tree of Life. I was in Texas a few weeks ago and an old friend I respect immensely told me something I didn’t know about God’s blockage of the way into the Garden of Eden. I will issue a Blog about it when I close this series.

THE SEED OF THE WOMAN IS EDEN’S TREE OF LIFE TO MEN!
MEN &WOMEN STILL HAVE TWO SPIRITUAL CHOICES TO MAKE
CHOICE 1 – TO INITIALLY RECEIVE GOD’S SON AS TREE OF LIFE!
CHOICE 2 – TO CONTINUE PARTAKING OF HIM AS HE GROWS IN US
CHOICE 1 GIVES HIS ETERNAL LIFE TO THOSE WHO DO RECEIVE HIM!
CHOICE 2 GIVES SPIRITUAL GROWTH WHEN THEY LET HIM LEAD THEM
CHOICE 1 GIVES THE SEED’S ETERNAL LIFE ONCE ONE PARTAKES OF IT
CHOICE 2 WE KNOW ABUNDANT SPRITIUAL LIFE AS THE SEED GROWS!
ALL DIED SPIRITUALLY BY ADAM’S WILLFUL CHOICE OF A WRONG TREE
NEW BIRTH BREATHES ETERNAL LIFE INTO US BY A QUICKENING JESUS

I Corinthians 15:21,22, – For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. [22] For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. [45] And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Genesis 2:7 – And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:15-17 – And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. [16] And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: [17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
GOD BLOCKED MAN’S ACCESS TO THE ACTUAL EDEN TREE OF LIFE
Genesis 3:22-24 – 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: [23] Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. [24] So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
MAN MUST BE BORN AGAIN BY GOD’S QUICKENING SPIRIT (BREATHE)
John 3:7 – Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
John 3:14,15 – And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: [15] That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
IF MAN PUTS FAITH IN JESUS’ WORDS HE IS QUICKENENED AGAIN
John 6:62,63 – What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? [63] It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
John 12:32 – And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
John 5:40 – And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
MAN MUST NOW COME TO GOD BY EMMANUEL, GOD HIMSELF, A SEED OF A WOMAN, A SINLESS MAN, A GOD-MAN, IN WHOM ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD DWELLS BODILY.
Genesis 3:15 – And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
INNOCENT ANIMAL BLOOD WAS SHED TO PROVIDE A PICTURE OF WHAT THE FUTURE SEED WOULD DO TO MAKE AN ETERNAL COVERING (kaphar) FOR ALL SINS THAT SEPARATED MAN FROM GOD.
Genesis 3:21 – Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
CHOICE 1 – TO INITIALLY PARTAKE OF THE TREE OF LIFE’S SEED
John 10:9a – I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,
CHOICE 2 – TO CONTINUE PARTAKING OF HIM AS HE GROWS IN US
John 10:9b – and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Feed the Lambs – Shepherd the Sheep – Feed the Sheep – John 21:15-17
CHOICE 1 GIVES HIS ETERNAL LIFE TO THOSE ONCE RECEIVING HIM
John 5:40 – And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
John 10:10b – I am come that they might have life,
CHOICE 2 GIVES HIS SPIRITUAL GROWTH AS THEY LET HIM LEAD THEM
John 10:10c – cand that they might have it more abundantly.
SOME CHOOSE NOT TO INITIALLY RECEIVE THE WORD OF THE SEED
Luke 8:11,12 – Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. [12] Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
SOME INITIALLY RECEIVE IT BUT WON’T LET IT GROW IN THEM
Luke 8:13 –They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
SOME LET IT GROW FOR AWHILE BUT EVENTUALLY CUT OFF GROWTH
Luke 8:14 – And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
A FEW CONTINUE IN IT BECAUSE THEY FALL IN LOVE WITH THE SEED
Luke 8:15 – But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
THE LIGHT OF THEIR ENDURANCE IN THEIR LOVE FOR HIM IS HIS LIGHT
Luke 8:16 – No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
Philippians. 2:13-17 – For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. [14] Do all things without murmurings and disputings: [15] That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; [16] Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
THOSE WHO GIVE THIS LIGHT WILL DWELLWHERE THE TREE OF LIFE IS POSITIONED IN THE NEW JERUSALEM
Revelation 22:14 – 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.
John 13:34,35 – A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. [35] By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
This Series will continue, Lord willing.
