How did death come about?
After God finished creating Adam and Eve, He placed them in the Garden of Eden.
But Satan the enemy of God tempted Adam and Eve and caused them to disobey God and they sinned against God. So Death came as a result of sin. This death includes both physical and spiritual deaths. God said to Adam in Genesis 3:19,
Consequences of sin
Ever since sin entered in the world, we are faced with calamities, violence, and various kinds of sicknesses and epidemics, and moral and spiritual decay as a result of sin.
We are now in a turbulent period in history. Violence is on the increase just as Jesus prophesied. Many people and even some nations are planning fervently to destroy one another by all means at their disposal including Nuclear weapons because of jealousy and hatred. There seems to be no easy way to control these evil forces. Governments are constantly warning people to be vigilant about epidemics, calamities and terrorist attacks. In spite of these warnings people are still being killed daily all over the world in large numbers. Newspapers are filled with these reports daily.
Physical death is inevitable. But we are willing we can prevent our spirits and souls being destroyed eternally in the Lake of Fire.
