b	Moses 3: 9. 9 And out of the ground made I, the Lord God, to grow every tree, ^anaturally, that is pleasant to the sight of man; and man could behold it. And it became also a ^bliving soul. For it was spiritual in the day that I created it; for it remaineth in the sphere in which I, God, created it, yea, even all things which I prepared for the use of man; and man saw that it was good for food. And I, the Lord God, planted the ^ctree of life also in the midst of the garden, and also the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Abr. 5: 9. 9 And out of the ground made the Gods to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food; the ^atree of life, also, in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. TG Food.
c	Gen. 3: 24. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden ^aCherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the ^btree of life. Rev. 2: 7. 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the ^aSpirit saith unto the churches; To him that ^bovercometh will I give to eat of the ^ctree of life, which is in the midst of the ^dparadise of God. Rev. 22: 2 (2, 14). 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the ^atree of ^blife, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the ^cleaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 1 Ne. 8: 10 (10-12). 10 And it came to pass that I beheld a ^atree, whose ^bfruit was desirable to make one ^chappy. 1 Ne. 11: 25 (21-22, 25). 25 And it came to pass that I beheld that the ^arod of iron, which my father had seen, was the ^bword of God, which ^cled to the fountain of ^dliving waters, or to the ^etree of life; which waters are a representation of the love of God; and I also beheld that the tree of life was a representation of the love of God. 1 Ne. 15: 36 (22, 28, 36). 36 Wherefore, the wicked are rejected from the righteous, and also from that ^atree of life, whose fruit is most precious and most ^bdesirable above all other fruits; yea, and it is the ^cgreatest of all the ^dgifts of God. And thus I spake unto my brethren. Amen. 2 Ne. 2: 15. 15 And to bring about his eternal ^apurposes in the end of man, after he had ^bcreated our first parents, and the beasts of the field and the ^cfowls of the air, and in fine, all things which are created, it must needs be that there was an opposition; even the ^dforbidden ^efruit in ^fopposition to the ^gtree of life; the one being sweet and the other bitter. Alma 12: 26 (21, 23, 26). 26 And now behold, if it were possible that our first parents could have gone forth and partaken of the ^atree of life they would have been forever miserable, having no preparatory state; and thus the ^bplan of redemption would have been frustrated, and the word of God would have been void, taking none effect. Alma 32: 40. 40 And thus, if ye will not nourish the word, looking forward with an eye of faith to the fruit thereof, ye can never pluck of the fruit of the ^atree of life. Alma 42: 5 (2-6). 5 For behold, if Adam had put forth his hand immediately, and ^apartaken of the ^btree of life, he would have lived forever, according to the word of God, having no space for repentance; yea, and also the word of God would have been void, and the great plan of salvation would have been frustrated. Moses 3: 9. 9 And out of the ground made I, the Lord God, to grow every tree, ^anaturally, that is pleasant to the sight of man; and man could behold it. And it became also a ^bliving soul. For it was spiritual in the day that I created it; for it remaineth in the sphere in which I, God, created it, yea, even all things which I prepared for the use of man; and man saw that it was good for food. And I, the Lord God, planted the ^ctree of life also in the midst of the garden, and also the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Moses 4: 28 (28, 31). 28 And I, the Lord God, ^asaid unto mine Only Begotten: Behold, the ^bman is become as one of us to ^cknow good and evil; and now lest he put forth his hand and ^dpartake also of the ^etree of life, and eat and live forever, Abr. 5: 9. 9 And out of the ground made the Gods to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food; the ^atree of life, also, in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
