WHEN SOMEONE DIES ARE THEY BEING PUNISHED?

     Death is never a punishment. It is almost always natural. Time wears out important parts of our bodies. After many, many years these parts cannot work anymore. People die when these parts-the heart, for example-stop working.

     God has given us wonderfully strong bodies that usually last a long time. Sometimes sickness makes them stop working before a person becomes old. This is not punishment, though. No one dies because God is angry with them. A person dies when an important part of their body wears out and stops working.
