What does the Bible say about God killing and making alive?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible declares that God is sovereign over life and death, as seen in Deuteronomy 32:39, where He states, 'I kill and I make alive.'

In Deuteronomy 32:39, God proclaims His sovereignty by saying, 'I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal.' This declaration emphasizes that all events regarding life and death are under God's control and purpose. Furthermore, this theme is echoed in 1 Samuel 2:6 and Psalm 139, which highlight God's authority in appointing the days of every individual, underscoring that both the means of death and the gift of life come from Him alone. Therefore, it is imperative for believers to acknowledge God's absolute sovereignty and find comfort in knowing that even in tragedy, He is in control.
