7 Letters To 7 Churches Part 2

The tree of life and the paradise of God are featured in the Genesis creation account. In the middle of the Garden, the earthly paradise, was the Tree of Life, which Adam and Eve were free to eat from. This tree granted eternal life, so when Adam and Eve sinned, they lost access to the garden and the tree.

But, when Jesus came and restored humanity’s relationship with the Heavenly Father, He also restored access to the Tree of Life for all who believe in Him. We see this at the end of Revelation, where the tree of life is in the midst of the paradise of God and available to those who receive salvation from Christ.

This is the meaning of Jesus’ promise to the believers of the right to eat from the tree of life. It symbolizes a restored relationship with God and eternal life.
