Which Fruit will you CHOOSE to Eat?

"In Romans 5, Paul depicted Adam and Christ as two heads of humanity, whose respective rebellion and obedience resulted in death and life, respectively, for those under them.

 

Here Paul depicts two modes of life, 

one unbelieving and one believing, 

which bear different fruits with different consequences.

The fact that in both Genesis 3 and Romans 6, fruit leads to shame and death is more significant than the mere presence of the same constellation of terms.

In both Genesis 2–3 and Romans 6, fruit also leads to eternal life. In Genesis 2–3, this is the fruit of the tree of life, from which Adam and Eve were free to eat prior to the Fall.

 
However, after the Fall, they were removed from the Tree of Life to prevent their eating and living forever. But as Paul says: “But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life” (Romans 6:22). This is consistent with the image of believers having free access to the Tree of Life in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 22:2)." CMI
