I completely agree that man in Christ should live the abundant life, both in quality and quantity.

God is the giver of life, and death was never part of His original design for humanity. In the Garden of Eden, Adam was free to eat from the Tree of Life and enjoy unbroken fellowship with God. However, sin introduced both spiritual and physical death (Genesis 2:17). As a result, God restricted man’s access to the Tree of Life to prevent eternal life in a fallen state. Death, then, is not natural but a judicial consequence of sin (Romans 8:20–21).

Through Christ’s death and resurrection, the curse of mortality is reversed. Believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit, who guarantees the promise of eternal life (John 3:16; Ephesians 1:14). Scripture shows a steady decline in human lifespan—from Adam’s 930 years to David’s 70—reflecting the effects of sin and brokenness. Psalm 90:10 affirms that most people live between 70 and 80 years, underscoring life’s brevity and the need to live wisely (Psalm 90:12).

I believe that we exist for a purpose, and we are meant to live until we have completed our course. This appointed age may differ from person to person. The grave should not come for us prematurely; rather, we should go to the grave at a rightful time—after fulfilling our God-given purpose. As Job 5:26 says, “You shall come to the grave at a full age, as a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.”
