How do we know that death is inevitable for everyone?

The inevitability of death is a central theme in Scripture, rooted in the reality that, through sin, death entered the world. Romans 5:12 explains, 'Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned.' This passage highlights that death is a consequence of humanity's fall into sin, suggesting that it is a universal experience.

In addition, Ecclesiastes 3:2 reminds us, 'There is a time to be born and a time to die.' This acknowledgment of death’s certainty reinforces the belief that every individual will face this reality. Furthermore, the imagery of life being compared to a flower emphasizes the brevity of our existence. Just as flowers bloom and wither quickly, so too do our lives come to an end, underscoring the profound truth that death is an inevitable part of our human experience.
