The strait and narrow path is drawn below. There are forbidden paths that lead to the right and left. This also means, “walk, travel, behavior".
The drawing, “straight” combined with the path means, “follow”.
When we follow, we start to step on the strait and narrow path. “Footprint” combined with the path means, “extends, along”.
This is the way our Heavenly Father wants us to follow.
Pressing straight to the tree of life, could people really reach the tree? In Book of Mormon, a ruler questioned Alma the Younger on the possibilities of partaking the fruit of the tree,
"But there was one Antionah, who was a chief ruler among them, came forth and said unto him: What is this that thou hast said, that man should rise from the dead and be changed from this mortal to an immortal state, that the soul can never die? What does the scripture mean, which saith that God placed cherubim and a flaming sword on the east of the garden of Eden, lest our first parents should enter and partake of the fruit of the tree of life, and live forever? And thus we see that there was no possible chance that they should live forever"(Alma 12:20-21).
This was also a very important topic shown within the ancient Chinese oracle drawings.
