How do we know our days are numbered according to the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that our days are predetermined by God, as stated in Job 14:5, 'Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass.'
Scripture clearly indicates that the lifespan of every person is in the hands of God. In Job 14:5, it is stated, 'Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass.' This verse reinforces the belief that God has set a designated time for each individual's life, affirming His sovereignty over our existence. Moreover, Psalm 90:12 urges believers to 'teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.' Understanding that our time is limited encourages us to live with purpose, turning our hearts towards Christ and the eternal significance of our actions in this brief life.
