As we all know, Adam and Eve disobeyed God by doing what He commanded them not to do. They were separated from God, and as a result, sin entered the human race. According to Romans 5:12-15, His sin spread death throughout the entire world, causing everything to grow old and die, for all sinned.
People were sinning from the time of Adam until Moses, God did not in those days judge them guilty of death for breaking his laws because he had not yet given his laws to them nor told them what he wanted them to do. So when their bodies died it was not for their sins since they had never disobeyed God's special law against eating the forbidden fruit, as Adam had.
What is the difference between man's sin and God's forgiveness?
For this one man, Adam brought death to many through his sin. But this one man, Jesus Christ, brought forgiveness to many through God’s mercy (Romans 5:15)
Before, sin ruled over all men and brought them to death, but now God’s kindness rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 5:21LB )
Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later. For all creation is waiting patiently and hopefully for that future day when God will resurrect his children. For on that day thorns and thistles, sin, death, and decay... will all disappear, and the world around us will share in the glorious freedom from sin which God's children enjoy." (Romans 8:18‑21LB )
We know that even the things of nature, like animals and plants, suffer in sickness and death as they await this great event. 23 And even we Christians, although we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, also groan to be released from pain and suffering. We, too, wait anxiously for that day when God will give us our full rights as his children, including the new bodies he has promised us—bodies that will never be sick again and will never die." (Romans 8:22‑23 LB)
"32Since he did not spare even his own Son for us but gave him up for us all, won't he also surely give us everything else?" (Romans 8:32 LB)
"38 For I am convinced nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels won't, and all the powers of hell itself cannot keep God's love away. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, 39 or where we are—high above the sky, or in the deepest ocean—nothing will ever be able to separate us from the love of God
demonstrated by our Lord Jesus Christ when he died for us." (Romans 8:38‑39 LB)
The answer for why people die, we can say that because of Adam’s sins, the people are dying. The book of (Romans 5:12) says that; just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people because all sinned. And again (Romans 23:3,) says that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
