And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment… Hebrews 9:27 esv
  
Dr Al Mohler writes,

“We are all going to die. Christians understand death to be the result of human sin and the final enemy is defeated by Christ. But as long as this age continues, death comes to us all. The reality of death frames the urgency and importance of making the most of the time we are given.” (emphasis added)
