The tree of life

Bagster's Daily Light - August 28 - Evening

The tree of life.

And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 1 

And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 2 

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 3 

For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 4 

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.' 5 

through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 6 

Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding, Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed. 7 

And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 8
