Summary

The sermon explains that the way to the Tree of Life, representing eternal life or the likeness of Christ, is guarded by a flaming sword. To partake in this divine nature, one must allow this sword to fall daily upon self-will, lust, selfishness, and pride. The speaker uses the example of the Rich Young Ruler to illustrate that external righteousness is insufficient; one must be willing to carry the cross, which requires renouncing love for self, money, and pleasure.
