Death is a factor of life. It is inescapable. But, why
did God make it so that we are even capable of dying?
Limited life span: On earth our time is limited. We
know and understand this as unfortunate. However, there may be a purpose
to this. As we all know, we are being tested by God for our worth to get
into heaven. So what we do with this limited life span as we slowly begin
to find out ways to extend it, is part of Gods big test. God wants to see
what we do with ourselves and is routing for our success as he attempts to
guide us on the right path.
Our life is not limited: The fact that we even have a
concept of an afterlife demonstrates that our death here on Earth is not the
end. In fact it is a new beginning. Who knows what awaits us once
we leave our physical bodies and ascend to becoming another state of being.
We believe heaven to be a paradise, while hell to be horrible, so which
do we go to? Do we know where we will end up? Heck, do we even know
if the next step after our deaths here on earth is heaven or hell? These
are things we do not know for only God knows.
Why some die before others: Have you ever wondered why some
people get sick and die so early in life? I definitely have. I
believe this too is a part of the test that is placed before us as how we deal
with grief is also another piece of the puzzle that God has laid out for us to
solve. I personally believe this, as unfair as it may seem to those who
die early in life and to those left behind, that sorrow may be necessary for us.
Perhaps so that we can resist temptation and evil? Maybe so that we
ourselves if we should be granted power in the afterlife do not do anything
beyond what we are allowed to do in the living world? But we can only
found out why when we finally meet God in person.
Conclusion: Our souls created by God are
immortal and transcend understanding. While we will never make it to the
same level as God, we know that death while being inevitable is not the end,
just another step in an endless journey. Yes, we cry, and feel sorry for
those that leave us behind, for this too is a test, but take heart in knowing
that someday we'll all be reunited together once more.
