How do we know that God controls life and death?

Answered in 2 sources

Scripture affirms that God is sovereign over life and death, illustrating His ultimate authority.

God's sovereignty over life and death is a central theme throughout the Bible. Consider Deuteronomy 32:39, where God declares that He is the one who kills and makes alive, delineating His complete authority over both physical and spiritual death. This sovereignty implies that every person has an appointment with death that cannot be altered, as affirmed in Hebrews 9:27. Understanding that God sets the bounds of our habitation instills a sense of accountability to Him. The fear of God is foundational for believers, as it leads to an acknowledgment of His power over our eternal fate and our need for redemption from sin through Christ.
