Life Span Statistics
Dear ladies when i read the bible in my mind continuously rise questions.are you the same one like me?today lets discuss about life span of humans.
1.Why were life spans of people living in biblical times so much long then than they are today? What has changed? Why did people in the Old Testament live for hundreds of years?
2.Why do people living today live much shorter life spans than in the days in which the Bible was written?
The first few humans recorded in the Bible, in particular the Old Testament, lived an exceedingly long number of years.if you read the bible you will know about their lifespans.There is a pattern that shows up. Progressively, each generation lived shorter and shorter lives.
Perhaps the first generations of humans lived such long lives because they were so close to the god.
When sin came to the life it changed somany things in human life.and the continuing sin through the generations had a cumulative effect. By the time Abraham was born, the life spans had shrunk considerably.

Even though Abraham lived to 175 years, Moses lived only 120 years. The effects of the fall of man, which happened in the Garden of Eden, had an effect. The creation had fallen with the fall of man. God cursed the land after Adam and Eve sinned. No longer would the environment be perfect. Even nature itself would be feeling the effects of sin.
Then god said to adam in genesis 3:17 "Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you".
So here is part of the reason. The ground became difficult to work. Thorns and thistles were found in the earth and man had to work hard to produce food. The fall also may have produced disease and sickness since the ground was now cursed.
By the time the Psalms were being written, the lifespan of mankind had shrunk closer to what they are today, as testified in Psalm 90:10, “The length of our days is seventy years–or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away."
Sin Shortens Life
It is no surprise that today there are more drug and alcohol addictions and abuse than ever before. These sins are known to shorten a person’s life. We know that drinking in excess and drug abuse (being illegal) destroy brain cells, the liver, and other muscular and neurological systems. These sins cause a person’s life to be take away in a more rapid sense that the average.
How to Have the Longest Life There is only one true way to have the longest life span of all. That is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. He gives to those who believe in Him eternal life (John 3:16). This means that a person will live forever.
And always obay our lord's commands and fallow him.what god tells throgh the holy spirit try to listen and do what he says.and knowing his purpose in our life is very important.
The best part is that this grace from God is free. You simply have to believe that Jesus Christ is the One and Only way to the Father inHeaven (Acts 4:12). If you believe in the Son of God, you will never, ever die again. And that is the longest life possible. I pray you will accept this eternal life today.
Have a blessed day in christ.
