Tree of life.

Truth96130:
Genesis 3:22 KJV
And the LORD God said , Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat , and live for ever...

It is clear from this verse that the tree of life can make someone live forever if they eat it.

1. Is this how people will become immortal someday? Revelation 22:14 KJV

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

2. Do only those that have access to the tree of life have immortality?

Truth96130:
Rev. 22/17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

Rev. 22/1-2  Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb  down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.

If God is in the city and his servants are also in the city Rev.22/3 then only people left are the nations that are (not yet Gods servants) because all of Gods servants are in the city. If all Christens are in the city then all the nations (out side the city) are logically those in Rev. 22/15
If the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations and the only nations are the unsaved, then the leaves are for the healing of the unsaved on the outside of the city.

Truth96130:
It appears the the only thing in the city that ALL people can take freely is the river of life.
The only water that Jesus is said to give people, is water that gives them everlasting life.
John 4/14 But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
The river of life is from Jesus and that water will springing up into everlasting life.
If the tree of life gives everlasting life then the water of life gives everlasting life.
All people are allowed to drink of the water of life. Rev. 22/17

True & true, as well as keeping in mind this is all symbolism and not literal which I believe you understand. Everything about us, from birth to regeneration to salvation, starts and ends with Jesus Christ. Everything points to Jesus Christ.

Hi Truth!

By this "...the tree of life can make someone live forever..."  what do you mean?
" Do only those that have access to the tree of life have immortality?" what tree?

Please consider the following :

"She is a tree of life to those who embrace her..." ( Proverbs 3:18) 
"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life..." ( Proverbs 11:30) 
"Delayed hope makes the heart sick, but fulfilled desire is a tree of life." ( Proverbs 13:12)
