why do ppl have to die for?

[Merlin]

We certainly 'die', by any standard definition of the word...e.g. cease of activity in both the heart and brain, so i don't know what the last poster was getting at. The reason we die is that we are durable - muscles cave in after being used x amount of times (and our heart is a muscle).

We are eternal beings housed in a physical body. The body may die (heart, brain, etc.), but there is another part of us that lives on, eternally.
That's why it matters what one's relation to Jesus is.
It determines our eternal living conditions.
