Scripture Reading:
Genesis 2:7-9 Jehovah God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. 8 And Jehovah God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there He put the man whom He had formed. 9 And out of the ground Jehovah God caused to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, as well as the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 2:16-17 And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may eat freely, 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, of it you shall not eat; for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.

Jeremiah 15:16 Your words were found and I ate them, and Your word became to me the gladness and joy of my heart, for I am called by Your name, O Jehovah, God of hosts.
Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, It is written, “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out through the mouth of God.”
John 6:57, 63 As the living Father has sent Me and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me. 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

Philippians 1:19-21a For I know that for me this will turn out to salvation through your petition and the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to shame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death. 21a For to me, to live is Christ.
Philippians 4:12-13 I know also how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to hunger, both to abound and to lack. 13 I am able to do all things in Him who empowers me.

Revelation 2:7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
