Documaentary Clause: man is God's own image(not only so that he can be established as the LK but also)....so therefore he is the second copy
Witnesses:let US make man in OUR image.....hence, witnesses
Sanctions:If you eat of the tree...you will DIE
Ratification Ceremony:

tree of life is reward for keeping the covenant and adam and eve get kicked out so they can't have it, because they didnt keep the covenant. If God let them eat from the tree of life, they would have had to live their life forever in their fallen life, so he kicks them out in order to redeem them. The kicking them out is an act of grace on God's part. FIrst covenant: keeop my word and you will get the tree of life. Gen 3:15-->God gives covenant: someone will come and give you freedom from satan, someone you will give birth to(like eventually, from your line) hence, Eve=mother of all life

When they have cain they think that the 'recieved' the child that God was talking about, the redepmtion from satan.

The child comes to keep the original gensis one covenant....to give the people the tree of life....he is there to keep the first covenant. The only way he will keep the promise of defeating satan is to do all the work that is involved in the original covenant. The new child will come and fulfill the covenant that adam could not and give the people the tree of life.

The only way you can get to the tree of life is by dying: if you try to get to the tree of life in the garden is through the cheribum who has a sword...you will die...if you try...so the only way to get to it is to die....DUN DUN DUN...the NT...the gospel...Jesus died in order to get us to the tree of life.

Romans 5:12-14

If adam created under first covenant, Jesus is born under that first covenant...adam had to do work to keep covenant, jesus had to also. By JESUS' works we are saved.
