Proverbs of a 36 yr old man

It is a privilege. Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. In that garden, there was the tree of life. When Adam and Eve sinned, God stopped them from going to the tree of life. He put a guard there so that they could not eat the fruit of it. If they ate of it, they would always be sinners and not be able to live with God. Let everyone listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To everyone who conquers I will give the privilege of eating from the tree of life that is in God's paradise. The Spirit of Christ gives a promise to those who overcome. They are those who obey God, those who do what the Lord has said to the church in Ephesus. Eternal life with God will be theirs, finally free from sin and death. Able to eat from the fruit of the tree of life and thus always be with the Lord Jesus. By God’s undeserved grace and mighty power, we have been given the privilege of serving him by spreading this Good News. If we live right before God we will be eating from this life-giving tree, and the seeds of our good deeds will become a tree of life to others. So we must conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Be brave when you face your enemies. Your courage will show them that they are going to be destroyed, and it will show you that you will be saved. For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him. Don't be ashamed to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God that you belong to him. Study Rom. 5:2
