Why do we die? ✝
The Bible’s answer
It is natural to wonder why people die, especially when we lose a loved one to death. The Bible says: “The thorn that causes death is sin” (1 Corinthians 15:56).
Why do we all sin and die?
The first humans, Adam and Eve, lost their lives because they sinned against God (Genesis 3:17–19). Since God is the “source of life,” the only possible consequence of their rebellion was death (Psalm 36:9; Genesis 2:17).
Adam passed on sin to all his descendants. This is what the Bible says: “Through one man sin entered the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12). Therefore, all men die because they sin (Romans 3:23).
How death will be eliminated !?
God promises that the time will come when “he will swallow up death forever” (Isaiah 25:8). To remove death, he must remove its root cause, which is sin. God will do this through Jesus Christ, who “takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29; 1 John 1:7).
