Tree #2: TREE OF LIFE
It is also free to eat this fruit.
By eating this fruit Life can be achieved.
God is not referring to our physical life because we are physically alive already.
But since all of us, in our time we will all die.
Therefore By eating this fruit we will achieve the Eternal Life.
To achieve Eternal Life we must follow Jesus as he commanded to the young ruler in Luke 18:22
Jesus claimed in John 14:6 I am the truth.
Therefore: By following Jesus is following the truth.
By following the truth will achieve Eternal Life.
According to Lord Jesus there are 2 witnesses to the truth.
That is Jesus as the Son of the living God and God the Father.
If Jesus bear witness for himself it is not true (1st witness).
God the Father witness what Jesus witnesses is the truth (2nd witness)
JOHN 5:31-32
31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
By believing the 2 witnesses of the truth will achieve the Eternal Life.
Here are the two examples of 2 witnesses in which the 1st witness statement is not true.
And the 2nd statement of the 2nd witness based on 1st witness statement is the truth.
1st Example:
DESTROY THIS TEMPLE.
JOHN 2:19
19 Jesus answered and said unto them
, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
1st witness is the Literal temple in which man's understand (Not True)
JOHN 2:17 & 20
17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
2nd Witness based on the statement of 1st Witness Temple (Truth)
JOHN 2:21-22
21 But he spake of the
temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
2nd Example:
LEAVEN OF THE PHARISEES and the Sadducees.
MATTHEW 16:6
6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
1st Witness is the leaven that we mix to the bread (Not True)
MATTHEW 16:7
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying
, It is because we have taken no bread.
2nd Witness based on the statement of 1st Witness Leaven means Wrong Doctrine (Truth)
MATTHEW 16:8-12
8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them,
O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 Then understood they how that he bade them
not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Because the Apostles of Christ forgot that Jesus is Speaking in Parables (Mark 4:34) serve as the 1st witness only. So he reminded them and said "O YE OF LITTLE FAITH"!
This is what God the Father said (Psalms 78:2 & Ezekiel 20:49) that he is speaking in Parables.
1st Witness serve as Parables because it is not True yet.
But the 2nd witness who witnesses what the 1st witness statement or the revelation of God in his parable words is the Truth.
