When Good People Die | Institute of Love

In Psalm 90:10 NLT it says that; “seventy years are given to us!
 Some even live to eighty,” and yet the Bible also says that; “good people pass away; 
the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand
that God is protecting them from the evil to come.” Isaiah 57:1 NLT  God doesn't see life here earth as we do. He knows that this earth is not our ultimate home, nor is it necessarily the best place to be. In this life, many of us experience pain, disease, sadness, and poverty. Additionally, destruction, violence, and death are common occurrences. Even Christians are not always immune from the sorrows of this life, because “even the best years are filled with pain and trouble.” Psalm 90:10 NLT  God loves us, but He knows that this place is not really life in comparison to spending eternity with Him in heaven, where “there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.” Revelation 21:4 NLT  God chooses when to take His children home, even if it is before their time, to protect them against the Devil who wants to snatch them away from God and drag them into hell! That is why we do not grieve like people who have no hope and say things like; if there is a God, why does He allow people to die before their time? No! “For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with Him the believers who have died.” 1. Thessalonians 4:14 NLT  And until Jesus Christ comes back, only “those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die!!!” Isaiah 57:2 NLT
