Tree of Life



What is the “Tree of Life”?
- It Brings Us Closer to God
- Spiritual and Eternal
- A Reward to all Believers

It’s mention at the beginning and end of time.
Genesis 2:9 - The LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 3:24
- After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
Revelation 2:7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

We are given more information about the tree to apply to our lives:
Proverbs 3:18 - She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.
Proverbs 11:30 - The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and the one who is wise saves lives.

Be wise today and always - Got Hope?
