Commentaries:
Adam had mortal life. The Tree of Life represented eternal life, which can come only from God's Spirit. If Adam had eaten of that Tree, he would have received God's Spirit, been begotten as a son of God. Adam, conditionally, would have received the earnest or down payment of eternal life. God's Spirit would have enabled Adam and Eve to overcome temptation, grow in righteous character, and become perfect, eventually, ready to be given spirit-composed eternal life, unconditionally. Even Jesus had to grow, learn, overcome, and become perfect (Luke 2:40; Hebrews 5:8; Revelation 3:21; Hebrews 2:10).
