The Bible teaches that God sovereignly appoints the time for each individual to be born and die, as stated in Ecclesiastes 3:1-2.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 declares that there is an appointed time for everything, including a time to be born and a time to die. This emphasizes God's sovereignty over all aspects of life. Nothing happens by chance; everything unfolds according to His divine providence and purpose. For believers, this assurance brings peace, knowing that every event, including our birth and death, is under God's control and works for our good and His glory. Understanding God's sovereignty reminds us to trust Him in all circumstances and rest in the knowledge that our times are in His hands.
