None of us are getting out of here alive; we all have a death sentence

Sounds good if you're an atheist. If you're a Christian, not so much. Death isn't the end, it's the beginning. This life is a test, after death you learn if you passed or failed. Maybe that's why we can't see eye to eye or walk shoulder to shoulder or hand in hand. One side believes, seeks, obeys, and follows Him and the other side doesn't. That's it in a nutshell.


You, like everyone else who commented, missed the point. What I said was in line with the Bible. The realization of our eventual death releases us from the grip of the world. Each moment then becomes our last act on earth. Our focus is laser-sharp on what is presently in front of us. There is no yesterday or tomorrow, no delays or excuses, but only that which glories God. We act as if already dead to all the riches the world has to offer. "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians2:20

Grab that innertube I left for you down in KeyWest.

Jump in the water and start swimming for Cuba.

You too can experience all those meanings about life you keep missing.

Castro awaits you. Swim harder, splash a lot with your feet and put that tube up on plane.

Have fun now.

Every man/women has an appointed time, by God.

Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

When we will die is not a matter of accident or chance; the Bible makes it clear that our lives are in God’s hands. He knows the time of our death, and He has even appointed it. The Bible says, “Man’s days are determined; you (God) have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed” (Job 14:5).

When we know Christ, then we can say with the psalmist, “My times are in your hands” (Psalm 31:15). Jesus came to give us life—life right now, and life in the world to come. Make sure of your commitment to Christ today.

1 Timothy 6:13, “I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus.

Here is more specificity. James applies this sovereignty precisely to whether and when we die. He says that instead of saying we are going up to such and such a town to do some business there and get a profit, “You ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we will live’” — now, that just settles it for me — “‘and do this or that’” (James 4:13, 15). And then James adds, “As it is, you boast in your arrogance” — meaning, he thinks it is arrogant to presume we live one second longer than God wills for us to live. “All such boasting is evil” (James 4:16). The point is, only if God wills, do I live another minute. Therefore, the Lord decides when I die.

Jesus put it this way: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground” — meaning, die — “apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of much more value than the sparrows” (Matthew 10:29–31). Now, what is the point? The point is, if the time for the death of a tiny bird in a remote forest is of a concern to God and determined by God, how much more will our days be numbered and determined by God with great care and wisdom. In fact, the psalmist says to God, “Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them” (Psalm 139:16). Which means, the days that God has allotted for me and you are already written in a book. They are decided. There aren’t any extra ones outside the book that slip up on God.

Job confessed this about his own children when they had all died in a storm. He said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord” (Job 1:21). Hannah says the same thing in 1 Samuel 2:6, “The Lord k**ls and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up.” In other words, life and death are in the hand of God. Moses says the same thing when he quotes God in Deuteronomy 32:39, “See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god beside me; I k**l and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.”

So Rumi, every person according to the will of God dies when God says so. The weak and sick can live decades serving God, the strong can drop dead.
We don't live each day to its fullest, God wants us to live each day to have the fullest relationship with him, thus he blesses us with joy in our serving the Lord, seeking to be "Christ like" even in our flawed vessel's, tripping and falling but getting back up until the time we live eternally in our new and perfect incorruptible bodies in the presence of the Lord.

James 2:19
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Have we truly accepted Jesus as our Saviour, believing he paid the price for our sins on the cross, that he died and rose again.
Jesus is the son of God, God in the flesh that walked among men, but rejected by the Jewish.
Prophecy is fulfilling as the church age is coming to a close and the time of Jacob's Troubles about to begin, the time God deals with Israel and all Jewish will accept the Lord as God also sends his wrath and judgment upon this World.

Time is short to ask Jesus for forgiveness of our sins, repent (Change how we think about sin, turn away from sin) confess with the mouth that Jesus is the son of God, our Lord and savior.

You just blew a perfect opportunity to speak of the good news and salvation in Jesus Christ:

The Romans Road to Salvation through Jesus Christ

Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”
Romans 10:9 “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Romans 10:13 “For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

If you, dear friend, have not yet come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as your own personal Savior, I encourage you to give your life to Christ. Just say a prayer and ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and come into your heart, so that you might have eternal life and be “born again.”

But that is not what you said.
Had you included Galatians into your post, the entire meaning would have changed from a more secular view, to one of a biblical view" Living in Christ ".
I would add your quote of Galatians is Perfect😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
