This is devotional thought number 29 in our devotional series, “Stewarding the Heart.”
“So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.” (Genesis 3:24).
Adam and Eve recovered from the spiritual hangover of sin. They finally came to the realization of the implications of their actions. They faced the Lord, and with fear and trepidation attempted to explain themselves. Because of God’s love for them, He had to make drastic decisions, which, at first, they may not have understood.
The Tree of Life had life-sustaining properties for those who ate of it. Before sin, the holy couple had free access to it. What would have happened if they had eaten the fruit after they sinned? “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:” (Genesis 3:22). If they had eaten from the tree of life, they would have been on a never-ending roller coaster of sin. By their eating from the tree, their lives would have been sustained in a sinful state. What a miserable existence that would have been. With the compassion of a tender, loving parent, and the foresight of a good manager, the Lord made certain that they did not have that opportunity. He understood what they could not understand, and barred access to the tree.
One of the things that we may not be anticipating as much as we should, is the end of sin. In some ways, many of us are probably tired of the ill effects of it, but we should loathe it. The blessing is that God understands our deficiencies. He knows that we need Him to intervene so we do not become attached to sin. He instills the power of the Holy Ghost within us to awaken our consciences to begin seeing sin for what it really is. It is a long protracted process, but as we grow in the Lord, we begin to separate from our evil habits and are brought into conformity to His will.
One day soon, we will be able to reach forth our hands to the tree of life. We will live forever in a state of holiness and sin will be no more. We will have unrestrained access to the Tree of Life.
