Why we must die? The Bible says, “It is appointed unto men once to die” (Hebrews 9:27). It is the most democratic of all experiences.
Today we confront with so many voices telling us how to live. We are told how to look young, stay trim, keep healthy, have a good image, think positively, make more money, hove more friends.
All these are reasonable ambitions, but they indicate that we are trying desperately to cling to this present world. The truth is, life transitory. “What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes” (James 4:14).
The psalmist said, “Each min’s life is but a breath” fact that is going to end.
Dr. L. Nelson Bell, wrote many years ago, “Only those who are prepared to die are really prepared to live.” The uncertainty is not the dying, it’s the preparation.
Holy Bible
Book No: 3 – O.T.
Leviticus
Author: Traditionally Moses
Date: About 1445 B.C.
Theme: The sanctity of God and Holiness in everyday life.

Revelation 7:17
For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
What a beautiful picture! The One who died for us will nourish and refresh us. The One upon whom all eternity hinges will take time to personally comfort us. No wonder Paul could say that he did not consider his present sufferings worth comparing to the glory that would be revealed to us! (Romans 8:18)
