THE TREE OF LIFE
Background Reading: Genesis 2:9,17; 3:1-24
In the Book of Genesis, we find the story of Adam and Eve and
the Tree of Life.
We will explore one view of this account in the
following outline of the creation story.
In the beginning, in a dateless past, God created the heavens
and the earth.
Then at a further point in time, He established the earth
as we know it now, and created man in His own image:
GENESIS 1:26 And God said, “Let Us (God the Father,
God the Word and God the Holy Spirit) make man
(mankind) in Our image, after Our likeness (the creation
of man was preceded by a Divine consultation; as well,
the pronouns “Us” and “Our” proclaim the consultation
held by the Three Persons of the Divine Trinity, Who were
One in the creative work: E.S.B.): and let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of
the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and
over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”
GENESIS 1:27 So God created man in His own image,
in the image of God created He him; male and female
created He them.
God then placed man in the Garden of Eden and told him that he
could eat of all the trees in the garden except for “the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil.”
God told him that if he ate (partook) of
this tree, he would surely die.
GENESIS 2:16 And the Lord God commanded the
man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may
freely eat:
GENESIS 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil, you shall not eat (partake) of it: for in the
1
day that you eat thereof you shall surely die (this means
spiritual death which is separation from God).”
When God said that man would die the day he ate (partook) of
“the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,” God was referring not
to physical death “in the day that you shall eat,” but to “spiritual
death.”
This meant that man would become separated from Him, and
no longer linked to Him spiritually - for the relationship between
God and man would be broken.
As we shall see, physical death also
resulted though not immediately, the ageing process being a
consequence of the Fall.
