I was just reading the part of Genesis (ch 2&3) about Adam and Eve and realized or maybe was reminded that they had Eternal Life freely available to them and God welcomed them to eat/partake of it. I thought that I'd share this just in case there is another who hadn't realized this. The story is focused upon the forbidden tree and their disobedience and overshadows/ed this fact, for me anyway.
Apparently, they hadn't partaken of the tree of life, yet.
Ge 2:9 "The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
Ge 2:16-17: "And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
Both Pasted from <Genesis 2 NIV
Ge 3:22 "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.”"
Pasted from <Genesis 3 NIV>
