AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 3:22 ¶ And the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), knowing [how to distinguish between] good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take from the tree of life as well, and eat [its fruit], and live [in this fallen, sinful condition] forever"-- |
Subject: Tree of Life can we say? |
Bible Note: JVH0212 The point your making is my point, look what the bible records, “if you eat of the tree you will die.” That had to apply to spiritual death since that is what occurred. Before they eat they walked with God after they eat they hide from God. Their spiritual death was instantaneous, while physical death didn’t come instantaneously but occurred after some time. Physical death came about because they were driven from God’s presence and from the tree of life. The point I’m making is the “death” spoken in the warning was not physical death but spiritual death. The curse of sin does not carry physical death but rather spiritual death. Physical death occurs as a result of sin because we have no access to the tree of life which is in the presence of God from Whom we were separated from by sin. Results are the same, the focus in just different. ‘To me’ it makes what Christ did on the cross more understandable and much more wonderful. It makes Isaiah 53 explode with wonders, awe and truths hidden from my reasoning for years. Thank you Lord Jesus! Be Blessed and be a Blessing Ed |
