Death entered the human race as a result of Adam and Eve eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, which was sin.

When Adam and Eve sinned, God said that our days would be shortened. We live and grow old and die...our bodies give up. This life is temporary...and because of sin our days are shortened. Many can die of other reasons too- accidents- diseases- cancer- All of these due to sin in the world.....it all comes from the fall of Adam and Eve...because of sin.
Job 12:10
In his hand is the life of every living thingand the breath of all mankind.
Psalm 39:5
Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,and my lifetime is as nothing before you.Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah

WE die because Adam and Eve SINNED.
Because of one man's sins, sinned enter the world...
Because of One man's sacrifice sin is taken out of our "Christian" life.
If Christ had not died on the cross for our sins we would all be under the COMPLETE old testament .
The blood of goats and rams only rolled forward people's sins it did not wash them away.
Christ 's blood washes away our sins forever.
Jesus' mission here on earth was:
John 10:10
John 4:34
John 12:47
Galatians 1:4
1 Timothy 1:15
Hebrews 2:9
Luke 19:10
John 14:6
The Bible is complete and all we need:
2 Timothy 3:16,17
2 Peter 1:3
Galatians 1:8,9
Revelation 22:18,19
John 8:32:---And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

GOD has brought people into the word to serve him and do his work of serving others and taking care of the land and having families. God also wants to see if you are able to live up to the assignment that he gives to you. When you have served his purpose, it is time for you to check out. Others would say that your number has been called in. It is basically because of the sins of Adam and Eve, that we all will die from this Earth. But I believe that we do live eternally with our heavenly father by his Grace and Mercy in heaven.

People are dead if they do not accept the free gift of God of eternal life given to us bu the blood of Jesus which was shed on the cross.
People also die because of the sin in the garden or Eden. Read Genesis 3

Because we live in a fall-in world.
Prior to the fall of man decay did not happen.
The fall happened when sin corrupted the world.
Now we get to live once and die once no second chances here on earth.

People die because our original earthly parents chose death.
What our ancestors do has an effect on future generations.
Adam disobeyed.
It affected all future generations ...right up to you and me.
He couldn't pass on an ability he didn't have.
He gave up the ability to live forever.
Thanks Adam!

Physical death is a curse. "As in Adam, all die"
Each person's days are numbered. You can look up the scriptures.

It's the cycle of life. One creature dies and another takes it's place. Once we've lived our life span our bodies shut down and we drift off into death. What happens after that, I don't know.
