Eat to Die, Eat to Live
Adam and Eve Came to Die After Eating From the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
The interesting thing is, ironically, death, the greatest tragedy of humankind, began with “eating.”
God gave the commandment to not eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil from among the trees in the Garden of Eden.
God said, if you eat it, you will die, you can eat the fruit from other trees, but you must not eat the fruit from that tree (Genesis 2:15-17).
However, the people fell into the temptation of the serpent and ate of the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:1-6).
Is There a Way for Them to Live Forever?
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil results in death, and the tree of life brings eternal life.
Adam and Eve, who disobeyed God’s Word, were eventually cast out of Eden, received the punishment of death (Genesis 3:23, 5:5), and that death came upon all people (Romans 5:12).
However, there was something able to reverse the history of death hidden in the Garden of Eden. In the middle of the Garden of Eden, existed a tree more important than the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
A tree that is not easily found even after reading Genesis dozens of times, that tree is the “tree of life” (Genesis 2:9).
God said, ··· He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” ··· 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.
[Genesis 3:22–24]
God said “He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever,” which meant that even though Adam and Eve came to die by eating from the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they could live forever if only they ate from the Tree of Life.
However, the way to the Tree of Life was blocked by Cherubim and flaming sword, making it impossible for sinners to go there.
Who has the authority to open the closed path to the Tree of Life?
No matter how exceptional a person is, they cannot open the way to the Tree of Life. Only God has the authority to reopen the way to the Tree of Life.
God Himself came to this earth as a man to open the way to the Tree of Life.
He is Jesus Christ.

The church that reveals the reality of the tree of life is the Church of God. Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong made known this fact. And he also told me how to go back to heaven again. Only the Church of God is the true church where there is salvation.
Amen. Christ Ahnsahnghong who reopened the way to the tree of Life by reestablishing the Passover is truely our God. Let us receive Holy Spirit God and go to Heaven
