Why is the tree of life significant for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

The tree of life represents eternal life and access to God's presence, signifying the restoration offered to believers.

The tree of life is a powerful symbol in Revelation 22, representing the eternal life made available to believers through Christ’s redemptive work. It recalls the original tree of life in the Garden of Eden, where access was lost due to sin. However, the vision in Revelation reveals that through Christ’s obedience and sacrifice, the tree of life is now accessible to the redeemed. The tree yields fruit for nourishment and leaves for healing, illustrating the restoration and wholeness provided in the New Jerusalem. Thus, it stands as a testament to God's promise that His people will live in His presence and enjoy eternal life.
