Since Jesus was sinless, would he have lived forever if he didn’t die on the cross? The short answer is … no. Although he was sinless, he was in a sinful world and didn’t have access to the trees of life. This of course didn’t matter because God’s will was for him to die on a cross. Adam & Eve likewise would have died without the trees of life even in their sinless, pre-fall state.
“Out of the ground the Lord God caused every tree to grow that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” Genesis 2:9
“And by the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.” Ezekiel 47:12
