Do we have a predetermined time to die?

No, we do not have a predetermined time to die. Rather than supporting belief in fate, the Bible says that death is often due to “unexpected events.”​—Ecclesiastes 9:​11.

What happens after our death?

After our death we must then stand before God and give an account of our lives in relation to God and his commands. I Peter 1:17 says this, (New Living Translation) “And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do.

How can we live longer if we make wise decisions?

Despite life’s uncertainties, we can often live longer if we make wise decisions. The Bible says: “The teaching of the wise one is a source of life to turn one away from the snares of death.” (Proverbs 13:14) Likewise, Moses told the Israelites that they could “live a long time” if they obeyed God’s commands.

Does God “know” when we die?

So for God the answer is that he DOES indeed “know” precisely the day, hour and minute that each of us will die. And there is nothing that we can do to change or alter the time and circumstances that God “knows” concerning our death. And while he might change his mind and grant us more time, only he will still “know.”

Is there a time to be born and time to die?

Yes, Ecclesiastes 3:2 says that there is “a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.” (King James Version) However, the context of this verse shows that the Bible is discussing the continuing cycles that are common to life.

Do we have an appointed time of death?

Question: “Do we have an appointed time of death?”. Answer: The Bible tells us that “all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be” (Psalm 139:16). So, yes, God knows exactly when, where, and how we will die. God knows absolutely everything about us (Psalm 139:1-6).

Does a person who dies due to a foolish decision expedite his death?

Similarly, a person who dies because of a foolish decision (e.g., drug use) “expedites” his own death. A person who dies of lung cancer from smoking would not have died in the same way or at the same time if he had not smoked.

Why were we born?

Our times call not for diction but for action. It has been said that the two most important days of a man’s life are the day on which he was born and the day on which he discovers why he was born. This is why we were born: To love the Lord our God with all our heart and soul and mind and strength, and our neighbor as ourselves.

Does God know the time of our death?

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).
