"To him that overcometh," Christ says, "will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God." Revelation 2:7. The giving of the tree of life in Eden was conditional, and it was finally withdrawn. But the gifts of the future life are absolute and eternal.

»Den, der sejrer,« siger Kristus,»ham vil jeg give at spise af livets træ, som er i Guds Paradis.« Åb. 2,7. Livets træ i Edens have var en betinget gave, og til slut blev den trukket tilbage. Men det fremtidige livs gaver er ubetingede og evige.
