What
is the Tree of Life?
The
tree of life, mentioned in the books of Genesis and Revelation, is a
life-giving tree created to enhance and perpetually sustain the physical life
of humanity.
Revelation
2;7
The
one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the
one who conquers, I will permit him to eat from the tree of life that is
in the paradise of God.’
Revelation
22;1-3
Then
the angel showed me the river of the water of life—water
as clear as crystal—pouring out from the throne of God and of the
Lamb, flowing down the middle of the city’s main street. On each side of
the river is the tree of life producing twelve kinds of
fruit, yielding its fruit every month of the year. Its leaves are for
the healing of the nations. And there will no longer be any curse, and
the throne of God and the Lamb will be in the city. His servants will
worship him.
Genesis
2;9

Lord God made all kinds of trees grow from the soil, every tree
that was pleasing to look at and good for food. (Now the tree of life
and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil were in the
middle of the orchard.)
Genesis

And
the Lord God said, “Now that the man has become like one of us, knowing
good and evil, he must not be allowed to stretch out his hand and take also
from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”

3;24
When
he drove the man out, he placed on the eastern side of the orchard in

that is in the paradise of God.’

down the middle of the city’s main street. On each side of the
