There is such a perfect, mirror symmetry in the story of man's fall and subsequent redemption on the cross. In the garden of Eden there were many trees which one could eat from and live, but only one that would cause you to die. On this side of the fall there are many ways to die and only one way to know life. Adam exited paradise when he decided it would be better to be a god than to trust in God, and all us sons and daughters of Adam may only enter back in when we cease striving in our own power and trust in Jesus alone for our salvation.
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. - John 14:6
