{"product_id":"a-blessing-and-a-curse-kerry-l-barger-9781973746751","title":"A Blessing and a Curse","description":"When Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge, they became like God and the angels, knowing good and evil. For that reason, they were cast out of the garden in Eden and barred from having access to the Tree of Life, which would have provided them immortality. What would have happened to them if they had obeyed God and initially eaten from the Tree of Life? Obviously, they would no longer have been subject to death. Therefore, they would have been free from the curse surrounding the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. In fact, rather than being a deadly curse, it would have then resulted in a blessing. Jesus of Nazareth told the Jewish people of his day and time they must keep God's commandments to have eternal life. But after his death, burial, and resurrection, God reopened the way to the Tree of Life for all who believe the Gospel of Grace.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God...\" --Deuteronomy 11:26-28.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kerry L.
