Death was not God's original purpose for us. It is something for which we can never be completely prepared. The Bible says: "Time indefinite God has put in our hearts" (Ecclesiastes 3:11) He created us with the desire to live forever. And he opened the way for that desire to be fulfilled at John 3:16.
