Genesis 3:22 (ESV)
Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—”
Adam would not be able to take of the tree of life until he had knowledge of good and evil. There were two paths to that tree. One is to obey God which is the preferred and the most direct route. The second is to disobey and learn obedience to the word of God. Jesus is that word.
In both cases, obedience is the way to go for life. The way is narrow, but it is the only way.
