What does the Bible say about the certainty of death?

Answered in 6 sources

The Bible teaches that death is certain for all people and it is God who appoints the time of our death (Hebrews 9:27).

In Luke 12:20, Jesus illustrates the certainty of death in the parable of the rich fool, emphasizing that our lives do not consist of our possessions and that we should prepare for death. Job 14:5 states, 'Since his days are determined, the number of his months is with you; you have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass.' Understanding the certainty of death should lead us to live wisely and prepare our hearts for meeting God in judgment, as we are all appointed to die.
