The Bible book of Genesis speaks of seven men who lived more than 900 years, all of them being born prior to the Flood of Noah’s day. They were Adam, Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Jared, Methuselah, and Noah. (Genesis 5:5-27; 9:29) Many of these men may be unfamiliar to most people, but all of them were among the first ten generations in human history. Methuselah is well-known for having lived the longest—a record 969 years!
The search for the "fountain of youth" has been ongoing for so many years! Why are our bodies degenerating when scientists say the body is so well constructed so as to continue living! Professor of Medicine Tom Kirkwood once said that aging “remains one of the great mysteries of medical science.” The effort to find the key to stop the aging process continues to this day.
The Authority on the biological make-up of humans should certainly have the answer! After all, he created the first man. Please don't be quick to be sceptical about this comment! We are touching on a very important topic! Who does not want to continue living? To be true to ourselves, let's consider the word of the Highest Authority that knows us better than anyone else. He placed our cells in motion. He knows how they work and why they work. We give tremendous credit to scientists when they discover an intricate part of what makes us function, even in awe of that one! Certainly, we would want to consider the Grand Creator in this mix!
Consider:
To Jehovah God, aging is neither a mystery nor a problem without a solution. He created the first man, Adam, perfect and purposed that humans should live forever. Sadly, Adam decided to turn his back on God. As a result, he fell into sin and became imperfect. Herein lies the explanation scientists have been looking for: “Through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.” (Romans 5:12) It is because of sin and imperfection that we get sick, grow old, and die.
To believe this, we must know the person who inspired this to be written.."upon the basis of a hope of the everlasting life which God, who cannot lie, promised before times long lasting" Titus 1:2. Our Creator cannot lie!
