The tree of life

The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:8-9 



“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
Revelation 22:12-15

In the beginning of the Word of God there is the tree of life, on earth. At the end of the Word of God, there is the tree of life, this time in heaven.

"How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!" -Proverbs 16:16 Psalm 90 A Prayer of Moses the man of God.   1  Lord, You have been our dwelling place   in all generations.   2  Before the mountains were brought forth,          Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,          Even from everlasting to everlasting, You  are  God.           3  You turn man to destruction,          And say, “Return, O children of men.”   4   For a thousand years in Your sight           Are  like yesterday when it is past,          And  like  a watch in the night.   5  You carry them away  like  a flood;   ...

He is still in the miracle-working business, and His business is the business of transformation.”    ~ Adrian Rogers “A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian… and most of all, his family ought to know.”     ~ D.
