Gen 3:22-24
Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”—
therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken.
So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.

There were two trees in the midst of the garden.
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil - God forbade Adam and Eve from eating of it.
The tree of life - Adam and Eve could have eaten from it, but apparently had yet to do so.

Did you see the grace of the Lord?
Did you see the mercy of the Lord?

He drove them out of the garden so that they would not eat of the tree of life.
If they had eaten of the tree of life in their rebellious state, then they would have been condemned to that status. They would live forever…separated from God.

There are some interesting things about the tree of life…
