After the fall, God expelled Adam and Eve from the garden in Genesis 3:
God provided the solution. He sent his Son to die for us on the cross. He removed this separation. Now, for believers, God's presence, in the form of the Paraclete/Spirit, lives in us. After our resurrection, Revelation 2:
The flaming sword served as a physical barrier between God and man. Because of their disobedience, they lost their convenient access to the Tree of Life and God's presence. It symbolizes God's holy justice, punishment, and separation.24 He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.

We will have free access to the Tree of Life.7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of life in the Paradise of God.
