Gen 3:22-2422 And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."23 So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.24 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.(NIV)I have pondered Jesus paying the sin debt for several months now, until the Lord gave me understanding about this matter, just this morning. Because of the sin of Adam, the way to the Tree of Life was barred, by an angel with a flaming sword. Man had no hope and no access to eternal life. This also was portrayed in the Tabernacle, where access to Holiest of Holies was barred from all men, except the High Priest (type of Jesus) and only one time per year and not without blood. A breach here, to the type, meant instant death to the priest.So, because of the sin debt, no man could approach the Tree of Life (eternal life). Then Jesus became the Lamb, who was without sin, and paid the sin debt in full when the blood of the innocent was shed for the guilt of the guilty. When this happened the Temple veil was torn in two, thus signifying, all men now have open and free access to the Tree of Life. The way has been made open (the flaming sword removed) for all who will to come and to eat and to live. Just because we all have free and open access to the Tree of Life, does not mean we all have eternal life. We must come to the Tree and eat in order to live. Jesus lifted the barrier (the flaming sword) and gave every man access, but we must come and eat and live of the Tree of Life in order to have eternal life. That eternal life is in the Son (the Tree). He that has the Son (eaten of the Tree) has eternal life, and he that has not the Son (has not eaten of the Tree of Life), has no eternal life in him. Wonderful news! Be blessed.
