In verse 22 Nephi correctly identifies the fruit of the Tree as the love of God. The angel confirms this interpretation of the symbol, then expressly connects this symbol with Christ as the embodiment of the symbol. After discussing the fruit as the love of God, the Son of God is shown among men. Thus the love of God is brought to all mankind, and all have the opportunity to taste of its exquisite joy - through the teachings and person of the Son of God.
