Oh, how sad was their disobedience, and what sorrow it brought on them and their children!
So the Lord God sent them out of the beautiful garden, because there was in the midst of the garden the Tree of Life, and God did not wish them to eat of that tree now.
So He put angels at the gate of Eden with a flaming sword, to keep the way of the Tree of Life.
Then Adam and Eve went out sorrowfully from their lovely garden, and Adam had to work very hard in digging the ground to plant things to grow for that food.
Eve was very sad too, and in the end they both had to die, as God had said.
But God is very pitiful, and when He was telling Eve how wrong she had been, and what a cruel enemy the Serpent was, He promised her that some day a Deliverer should come, who should destroy the serpent, Satan.
This Deliverer is Jesus Christ our Saviour, Who came to earth to live and to die for us, that He might undo all that Satan had done to hurt us, and make all who will trust Jesus, happy in heaven for ever.
And in the Revelation, we read a beautiful promise, which tells us something about Heaven that we never could have guessed when we saw poor Adam and Eve driven out of Eden—
"To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God!"
