Drawing a parallel to the test given to Christians by God, could it be that access to the tree of life was going to be granted to Adam and Eve if they passed that test.
|Adam and Eve | Christians |
| -------- | -------------- |
| Test was to resist eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil |Test is to have faith in the Son of God |
| A serpent tricked them to eat from that tree | An ancient serpent makes war on all Christians who keep the commandments of God |
|There was a tree in that garden called the tree of life, though access was blocked after they sinned|Jesus grants access to a tree of life which is in the paradise of God|
Since the devil acted independently to cause the fall of Adam and Eve then it can be conluded that God was against this scheme by the devil which raises the question, was the tree of life there as a rewad if Adam and Eve stood by what God commanded them?
*Genesis 3:22*
>And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever
