Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

We are created jsut to worship God. This life is a test of our free will.

Ah, well that idea presupposes that we're something unique and special, and so deserve some big all-encompassing purpose to our lives. We're just animals with a few clever little tricks up our sleeves, so the "use" of living is whatever we make it, day after day, and the imprint we leave upon each other and our world. We don't need to have a grand, universal purpose in order to make a positive difference.

We do live forever only not in a permanent body.
To me the idea that we live many and varied lives makes good sense. When we have learned all we need to know about this plane we progress to higher existences. That is why the sages tell us not to become overly attached to anything including the idea of life and death as attachment is the prime cause of unhappiness.

We live to fullfill our purpose in life as minimal or large as it may be. We may never even know that we fullfilled it but that is our reason for living as far as dieing we will go on to a better life in heaven. Why do we die because our bodies of this time are not the bodies we will have eternally.

He could have done that,but but if we knew we were going to live forever we would never seek God in our lives, most people reconize that after this life there is another life, one that will out shine this one.. no tears , no pain and suffering, and we could not live forever in this bdy, it must be changed and only God can change it..

We won't live as mortals forever, but we will actually live forever, first as spirits, and eventually as resurrected immortal beings. Christ overcame death - that's a huge part of what the atonement is all about.

if people do not die then we have not experienced true loss, and i believe that we were put on this planet to experience every detail of it. If people lived forever we might just get bored...

Aha! You've hit upon the reason why Jesus died for us .... to show us that death is but a doorway to eternity. You WILL live forever, it's where you spend it that counts, and earth is the place that determines which place.

Who said that death was the end of the game? In Monopoly, the game doesn't end just because you get a 'go to jail' card.
