Do you suppose DEATH is the final way God is there for us?

Question

I recently heard this song called "Held" by Natalie Grant and it kind of make sense to me that Death is natural so it can't be bad so could it also be another way that God look out for us by providing Death so we no longer have to suffer?

If you want to watch the video of this song here's the link:

Answer 1

For those who make God the goal of their lives death is like a reward, because they will inherit His kingdom, for an eternal life, full of knowledge and bliss.
But it is not like that for everyone. There is nice story in this connection.
Once a wise person was giving blessings to four people: a prince, a butcher, a saint, an ascetic.
To the prince he said: You live long.
To the ascetic he said: You die immediately.
To the saint he said: It doesn’t matter if you live or die.
To the butcher he said: Neither live, nor die.

Here is the explanation. The prince is enjoying royal live at the present, but when death comes he would probably have to pay for some sins he may have committed. So he better live long to postpone his suffering.
The ascetic is undergoing severe penances and hardships for his purification, so better he dies now and attain the reward of his efforts.
The saint, who is a devotee, is always absorbed in hearing and chanting about the Lord , so he is always associating with Him and for him live and death are the same. He will continue to serve Him eternally.
For the butcher live is hell now and it will certainly be hellish after death. So, for him both options are not acceptable.

We should know that death is not the end of everything. It is just the end of this body that we have now. The live of the soul is eternal and suffering or enjoyment (or the mixture of both) is a result of our activities during our life. How we will experience death depends on the state of our consciousness at that moment.

Answer 2

Everyone who takes birth must die. God is the universal father of all souls. Soul is immortal and eternal. It does not die it leaves one body and takes another body. God does not kill any one or becomes reason for anyones death, If everyone's death is in the hands of God all would have died peacefully, and in same manner, cause God is Ocean of mercy and bestower of peace and happiness. There would have been no accidents, sudden and painful deaths if death is something given by God. God does not come between we and what we do. What we experience in this world is all the result of the actions we commit. We are the creators of our destiny, to die or to live peacefully is absolutely in our hands only. God is supreme teacher teaches the philosophy of karma and make our actions good, so that we can make our lives peaceful and happy. God gives u strength to be good and do good. Nothing comes out of no where, if u want something u must make efforts. No effort of yours will go waste. This world is made on the rule No Effort No Luck! No shortcuts.

Answer 3

No.

God has promised an end to death.

(Revelation 21:4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

(1 Corinthians 15:26) As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing.

Here, death is regarded as an enemy. therefore it was not in God's original plan for us.

Adam caused us to die through his disobedience.
Jesus bought it back for us with his precious blood.

Answer 4

Death is a natural process that allows our spirit and soul to graduate.The Earth is the best school to enhance our soul energy and be enlightened. This is based on our free will and since earth is the only place that evil exists we need to pass the exams in order to graduate and move to the spiritual word. We are not complete beings but we can evolve to be so.

Answer 5

It's just a transition. You will sleep peacefully or be tortured in your grave till Judgement day depending on your deeds during your lifetime. Then on Judgement day you will be handed your personal deed book on all deeds(include good or bad) while you were alive. If your bad deed outweighs your good deed, then you can go to hell. If not you will be rewarded with happiness in heaven.

It isn't fair to those you had been unjust, manipulate, cause harm
or whatever atrocities you had done and escaped punishment in your lifetime, then god just let you die and that's it.

Answer 6

There's nothing wrong with death. Without death something is wrong. My heart goes out to those living in pain for those who have died; I say we can take comfort in that we know we will all die someday.

peace be with all of us.

Answer 7

All have a purpose in Gods plan if we accept it or not.
