Everyone who is born has the immutable reality that he will pass through the chamber of death. Death is the most hated entity that exists. In my opinion, the reason is because of the cruel interruption to such a perfect triune union. The thought of separation tears the innermost part of a human being. It is the first thing that causes terror to the human soul.
Man is the masterpiece of Almighty God:
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis KJV).
Death separates the perfect triunity of a person, which is made up of immaterial and material parts.
The immaterial parts: The spirit, which is the breath of God in us and our means to communicate with Him.
The soul, which is the seat of our personality. It perceives the psychological realm through our minds, emotions and will.
Material part: The body is the physical structure that allows us to use the five senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch) to relate to the material realm.
Actually, the body houses the immaterial parts of our being and it is wonderful!
“I will praise you, for You made me with fear and wonder; marvelous are Your works, and You know me completely.” (Psalms 139:14 MEV).
Relentless death breaks in and destroys such a wonderful trinity! And that is devastating! So, why death? Because that is the wages of sin. Death was not the original plan, it came as a result of sin. Death means separation from God, the Source of life. Due to sin, humanity became all kinds of evil. So death frees us from those evil minds like Hitler and many as such. Can you imagine Hitler alive forever, what the world would be like ? So, in a way, physical death can be a way to protect humanity.
So clearly it is understood that physical death is not an option. We will all experience physical death, but praise God, not everyone will experience eternal death. The real tragedy is spiritual death, physical death is for a time. But spiritual death is so horrible because you can be dead right now and not know it and in the end it will be eternal damnation. Our soul will never die, it will spend eternity where you choose while you are in this physical body. John 3:16 gives us the way to go to eternal life.
“For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 GNT).
So physical death is not an option, there is nothing you can do to avoid it. But, eternal life is a choice, you can choose to believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God. That He died for your sin and God raised Him from the dead and if you invite Him to come into your heart and be your Savior, you will have eternal life. See John 3:17, isn’t that wonderful?
“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him.” (John 3:17 NET).
