The scriptures explain why we die and how we can be saved from death by resurrection.

Ecclesiastes 11:9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned (condemned).

The life which God requires of us is to love God and our fellow man.

1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
