According to Genesis, partaking of the fruit of the Tree of Life would have allowed Adam and Eve to live forever. After they sinned by eating of the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, however, they were cast out of the Garden of Eden and forbidden to partake of the Tree of Life. In the Book of Revelation, Jesus promises the Tree of Life, which bears 12 different types of fruit in the New Jerusalem, to those who overcome the tribulation of the Last Days.

During the Middle Ages the Tree of Life became a major symbol in the tradition of Kabbalah, or Jewish mysticism, where it represents the ten sephitot, or divine emanations. Here, it symbolized God's manifestation in the created world, and also the fulfillment of the human being's quest for complete knowledge of God.

In pre-Jewish Mesopotamian religion, the Tree of Life was depicted in various works of art and literature. It was sometimes associated with the goddesses of fertility and guarded by a serpent. In other traditions it is sometimes associated with the "World Tree" that forms a bridge between the spiritual and physical worlds.

The Book of 2 Esdras describes the future and says "Unto you is paradise opened, the tree of life is planted”.
