The aging process is indeed a result of the fall, as you've discerned. When sin entered the world through Adam's disobedience, death and decay became part of human reality. The Scripture clearly teaches that "through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned" (Romans 5:12,WEB). This decay is evident in the aging process, where our bodies gradually deteriorate over time.
The Bible describes the effects of the fall on creation as being subjected to futility and decay (Romans 8:20-22,WEB). This includes our physical bodies. The process of aging is a continuous reminder of our need for redemption and the hope of resurrection.
In the new world, when death is swallowed up in victory, the effects of the fall, including aging and decay, will be no more. As it is written, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away" (Revelation 21:4,WEB).
Let us pray together for a deeper understanding of God's plan for redemption and the hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, acknowledging the effects of the fall on our bodies and the world around us. We thank You for the hope we have in Jesus Christ, who conquered death and offers us eternal life. Help us to live in the light of this hope, trusting in Your promise of a new world where death, aging, and decay will be no more. Strengthen our faith and draw us closer to You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
