I Corinthians 15:42-44

Although the average adult weighs about 180 pounds their body has: 222 bones; several trillion cells; 639 muscles; from 3 to 5 gallons of blood; several miles of nerves, arteries, and veins; with over a thousand specialized small parts and about 10 major organs which perform such unique feats of electric conduction and chemical transformation that it would take a book to adequately explain them.
The body is a well designed machine so complicated only the Maker can understand it. Every organ and every cell has its own function to do. It was created to run forever, but the result of sin is that some part of it wears out over time, so we eventually die.

William Gurnall wrote, ''God, to prevent all escape, has sown the seeds of death in our very constitution and nature, so that we can as soon run from ourselves, as run from death.''
We die as a consequence of our sins. Romans 3:23 The wages of sin is death. Hebrews 9:27 It is appointed unto man to die once.
