Tree Of Life



Tree Of Life
Author: Mark V. Markov

The tree of life
Is in the city New Jerusalem,
Which is in heaven.

In the Holy Scriptures.
Our Lord Jesus Christ says
He who overcomes,
Will eat,
From the tree of life.

So the opposite of that is,
He who does not overcome,
Will not eat,
From the tree of life.

In the Holy Scriptures
Our Lord Jesus Christ says
To do God the Father's will

So we live according
To His teaching
To the best of our ability.

And if we make mistakes
As we ask for forgiveness
We become forgiven,
By Him.

Since Jesus Christ
Is interceding for us
Before God the Father
Yet He still always
Wants us
 
To continue,
Remaining faithfull to Him,
Till the end.
By doing what He instructed us
In the Holy Scriptures

The tree of life
Is in the city New Jerusalem
Which is in heaven.

Our Lord Jesus Christ says
He who overcomes
Will eat,
From the tree of life.

So we must live according to Jesus Christ's instruction
To the best of our ability.
And to remain
Doing God The Father's will,
Being faithfull,
To Elohim the Holy Trinity
Till the end...

Revelation 3:1-6 (ESV)

1"And to the angel of the church in Sardis write:
 ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.

"‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead.

2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die,
for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.

3 Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent.
If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief,
and you will not know at what hour I will come against you.

4 Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments,
and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

5 The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments,
and I will never blot his name out of the book of life.
I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’


Revelation 2:2-5 (ESV)

2 "I know your works, your labor, your patience,
and that you cannot bear those who are evil.
And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not,
and have found them liars;

3 and you have persevered and have patience,
and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary.

4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works,
or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.


Revelation 2:7 (ESV)

7 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes
I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God." ’



Revelation 22:1-2 (ESV)

1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life,
 bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God
and of the Lamb

2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river,
the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month.
The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations

John 14:15 (ESV)
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

John 14:21 (ESV)
Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him."

2 John 1:6 (ESV)
And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments;
this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning,
so that you should walk in it.

1 Corinthians 7:19 (ESV)
For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision,but keeping the commandments of God.
