A few celebrities announced that they are taking anti-ageing treatment. Some declared their age is 50 plus, but have reverted to 25. A few speculated that with such advancement, humans would not die. A 42-year-old actress died of cardiac arrest, and her husband said that she had been taking anti-ageing treatment for 5-6 years. (NDTV 28 June 2025) Sadly, such people do not know the truth of the Bible.
Humans are special: God created the world with His word out of nothing. (Genesis 1) However, God created Adam out of dust and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. (Genesis 2:7) Humans are not just bodies; eating some special food or taking some medicines could stop physical aging or deterioration. Humans are created as spiritual beings, and searching for eternity is a quest for every person. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
Death: When Adam and Eve sinned, they experienced the spiritual death of separation from the living God. Promising a saviour from the seed of woman, God clothed them with a leather jacket after sacrificing an animal. (Genesis 3:15) The last enemy of a human to be destroyed is death. (I Corinthians 15:26)
Spiritual rebirth: The quest for humans should be spiritual rebirth, not long life by using anti-ageing treatments. All are invited to receive New Life by repenting of their sins and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as their saviour and Lord. (John 1:12) Without spiritual rebirth, all have to face the Second Death, which is everlasting torment, agony, and pain in the Lake of Fire, Hell.
Bypass judgment? Some people have a stupid idea that by not dying, they could avert facing God, being accountable to God, and escaping the divine wrath of God. All humans will face judgment, and there is no other option available. (Hebrews 9:27)
Purpose: The purpose of life is to do God’s will and bring glory to Him. Instead, most people create their own life purpose and pursue it. When it is not in alignment with God’s, all such plans perish.
Do I fulfill God’s purpose and am satisfied with His ordained length of life?
