The Scripture says it is appointed to man once to die, then the judgment, Hebrews 9:27.

Welcome you today to our study of: ‘Are you ready to die?’ Of course, naturally, when one thinks about that question, they would say, ‘well, no, I'm not ready to die.’ The Christian is more ready than anybody else for that great day to come. As you think about the idea of death, we're going to look to the Word of God today to see what the Scripture has to say on the subject of death and how the Christian can be ready for that great day. We encourage you, if you would, to get your Bible and have it handy as we're going to look to the Word of God together in our study.
Death is one of those things that every person is going to have to face. There's no escaping it. The Bible says ‘it is appointed to man once to die and then the judgment.’ All will one day have to face death, and the Bible gives an approximate, but we never know exactly how long one might live. ‘70, maybe 80 years if we're lucky,’ Psalm 90:10-12. For some, it's not near that long. And for some, it comes very suddenly. Luke 12:15-21, there was a man who it looked like everything was going his way. Had a great crop year, tore down his barns, built greater barns, and he looks like he's got life set. God said, and the Bible says, ‘and that night his soul was required of him.’ He died that night. He probably wasn't ready, but like it or not, all will one day have to face death.
