 Once they fell into sin, our first parents were cut off from the tree of life. The wages of their sin was death, not only for them, but for all humanity. And yet as we continue to read through Scripture, if we go beyond Genesis 2 and 3, we discover that all was not lost. That God had a plan that he was working out, and it was a plan that would give his people new life. New life like almond blossoms in springtime.
