Proverbs 13:12
Hope deferred makes a heart sick, But a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. NASB
When Adam and Eve were sent out of the Garden of Eden after eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, it was to prevent evil from living forever. This is why Christians must be born again, born of the Spirit. John 3: 8
The Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. KJV
To maintain a healthy spiritual life we must be feeding on the Word of God
There is only one place this side of heaven where one can find the Tree of Life. It is in the wisdom of Proverbs. But in reality any time we are feeding on the Word of God and applying it to our Christian journey we are partaking of the Tree of Life.
Here are three more places the Tree of life is found in Proverbs.
Proverbs 3:18
Proverbs 11:30
Proverbs 15:4
