This question is among the atheist's favourite. If christians are so blessed why do they die?... If God loves them so much why does He let them die?
Understandably, to most it may seem like they are dying, whereas in reality, they are finding new lives. They are beginning to live. 'John 3:16, says those who believe in Jesus will never die, but will have everlasting life.
I think that they are killed by the evil one to prevent them from getting people into the kingdom of God. They are a threat to the devil's scheme of getting people to turn against God, to avoid God.
The devil entices us with things that we have grown to uphold, money, luxury lifestyles, popularity and fame.
The devil is weak and cannot defeat God. Therefore, he fights dirty. He knows that most people would do anything for these things. He makes them available easily for those who seek them, and they end up believing that there is no God. That you get what you work for. This pleases the devil.
Then there are those who have been given understanding by God, who realise this scheme. They testify against earthly riches that draw you from true wealth. These people are a threat to the devil's agenda. When they win people over into God's Kingdom, the devil panics. He tries to stop them. He makes their lives miserable, for the weak hearted to see. They see that people who follow God are poor and suffer, while others are wealthy. They distance themselves from God.
The strong hearted will accept this suffering and embrace it, because it counts in the Kingdom of God. When the time comes, the strong hearted will receive their reward, and the weak hearted will also get their dues.
There's is always a bigger picture that not everyone sees. People shut out the reality of the world ending. They choose to live like life won't end. I encourage you to think about this and get closer to God. Pray for strength through suffering.
Go read from the book of Job.
