There is no doubt that the sentence of death is upon every man, for all men have died since Adam. The wages (pay check) for sin is death. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, thus all are appointed death and then the judgment, according to the Word of God. So it is not a matter of "if" I die, but "when" I die. That is the bad news, but the good news is that we can have life. Despite the fact, all shall die in Adam, all can live in Jesus Christ. That is God's equality.
What must we do to have that Life? We must have the Son for He alone has immortality. Some teach the soul will live forever, but the Word of God does not teach that. The only way to have eternal life is to have the only one that possess eternal life and that is Jesus. All that live, will die and face the judgment, and those whose name is found in the Lamb's Book of Life will live forever. Those, whose name is not found, will be judged, found lacking, and cast into destruction (Second Death). Now, the Lord reasons with us, "Before you I have place life and death, chose life and live, for why will you die O House of Israel?" Jesus is not willing that any perish, so if one is lost he goes against God's will. My question is, "Why wouldn't everyone prefer to live always in a paradise?"
Be blessed.
