We had to know the law before we could choose to fulfill the law. We had to know we could not fulfill the law before the need for Christ could be established. We had to know Christ before we could be made in His image.
That is why both the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil were in the garden. This allows for the separation of light and darkness.
The word was spoken to prepare us for the word taking flesh so the word might dwell in our flesh through the Holy Spirit. We have partaken in the tree on the knowledge of good and evil. If we persevere in the faith and overcome the world, we will at last eat from the tree of life.
