Bible Note: C.S.M. greetings, This is huge and something that a lot of us have never given serious thought. If Adam and Eve had eaten of the tree of life they would have been eternally lost. Mans,our salvation was on the line. Putting Adam and Eve out of the garden was the most loving thing God could do for them and us. In doing so God ensured the progress of his plan for his peopleand us today.
