God is in the business of giving long life to His children. When man fell from grace in the Garden of Eden, he began to die. People used to live for nine hundred and sixty-nine years, but this number started to decline.
When man began to commit numerous sins, the years of man on earth were cut to one hundred and twenty years, Genesis 6:3.
This is long life in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, the just shall live by faith, Romans 1:17; this means that the children of God are given the opportunity to live as long as they can to do the work of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Dearly beloved, how long do you want to live? Live by faith! Share your thoughts here!

Praise the LORD!
3 JOHN :1:2
"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2"
