Death and Suffering

Why Do People Die?

Death and Suffering | In the Garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they allowed death to come into the world. God never wanted that to happen! That's why he told Adam and Eve not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But Satan deceived Adam and Eve and they ate the fruit. Ever since then, death has been the part of the world, along with suffering and evil and sadness. It's the bad news.

But there is also a good news! God didn't leave the situation that way! He had plan to defeat death, and of course, Jesus is the main part of that plain. So through Jesus we can defeat death! If we believe in him, we will live forever, just as God intended all along. So even if we die physically -- which we will -- God raises us up from the dead, just as Jesus rose from the dead. As I said, that's Good News. The best news there is!
