Perhaps we will die; nonetheless, we are not necessarily under any obligation so to do. The words the Lord Jesus variously proclaimed make this teaching crystal clear.
"He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day" (John 6:54).
On the other hand, yet on the same occasion, Jesus also affirmed this:
"This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live for ever" (v. 58).
What the Lord is saying is that among those who believe in Him, some will die and be raised up while others will not pass through death at all.
"I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die" (John 11:25-26).
The Lord is not only the resurrection, He is also the life. However most of us believe Him as the resurrection, yet forget that He also is the life.
