Title: I Die

Bible: Genesis 3:1-8 Title: I Die
Why do people die? Disease, accident, suicide, homicide, end of life, etc.. But the answer is that the only reason the Bible says is 'disobedience to God's word'. The inheritance that Adam's descendants inherited is life, death, and death. Because of the sin of violating God's Word, God's righteous judgment that "sin pays the penalty of death" (Romans 6) was applied to all mankind. Adam and Eve, who fell into the serpent's consciousness, ate the forbidden fruit and hid from God. The idea of 'I'm afraid to die' is a thought that all sinners have.
1. Words that disbelieve death
The seriousness of Eve is that, in God's word, 'I will surely die' is replaced with 'I fear I will die', which means 'I may not die.' Should God really kill us? There is an ignorant idea of If you believe and obey God's Word, you do not need to worry about death, but the devil took the tree of knowledge and blurred his focus so that he could not advance to the tree of life, and made him think of death instead of the tree of life.
Since people don't take death seriously, what do they eat, not seekers for life and resurrection? what to wear what to drink This leads to metaphysical concerns. The snake's attack retreats in front of God's word, but when it speaks of humans, they look down on it, regard it as prey, and persistently attack. Eve said, ‘If I die, I will die.’ Esther said, ‘If I die, I will die.’ The core content of world news and all education and people's psychology is 'I'm afraid of dying'. IMF (I fear I will die if there is no money/International Monetary Fund), UN(I am afraid of death if war and terror arise/World Peace Organization), WCC(I fear I will die if scratched/World Federation of Religions Organization), WHO (When I get sick and grow old) I'm afraid of death/World Health Organization) These organizations are all new Tower of Babel movement The devil is always an expert in applying God's timetable backwards.
When God tells us to eat the tree of life and live happily, it makes us worry about dying if we eat the tree of good and evil. When you're really dead, don't worry, you'll never die." This is also the case in the parable of the five foolish virgins and the five wise virgins. The Jews used all kinds of pretexts and excuses for the first coming of the Messiah, distrusting them, and nailing them to a cross to death. When the real Messiah returns, then he will not come as a savior but as a judge. In the 21st century, the fruit of good and evil is to not believe and disbelieve the word of God with one's own reason, experience, and will. Russell, the founder of Jehovah's Witnesses, is deeply engrossed in 'I'm afraid of dying'. God of love cannot make hell and make humans suffer forever. Therefore, Hell is interpreted as a 'Gehenna' garbage incinerator.
2. Words that fear death
The devil comes with false comforts that reduce the fear of death. Alcohol, drugs, money, pleasure, religion, and superstition make people think they can solve the problem of death. I will never die' (4) deceive people with lies. Death in life is a fact. This death problem can be answered by resurrection. We must affirm, admit, and believe in death. Only then will you find the Lord of life and resurrection, and you will be able to ponder problems and find answers. In the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ on the cross, all problems in our life are solved. The answer is Jesus and the Gospel. “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
Conclusion/You must believe, not believe. It's not about dying, it's about dying. You must repent. We must firmly hold onto the gospel of the resurrection.
