1 Peter 1:24 says: "All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall..."(NIV) indicating that, at this point, all humans die. God's word is eternal, and his promises are sure, but a human life, atleast at this time, is very short. (Job 14:1+2)(Psalm 37:2)(Psalm 102:11)(Psalm 103:15+16)(Isaiah 51:12) (James 1:9+10)
Additional Informtion:
1:24 The transitory character of human nature is emphasized by a quotation of Isa 40:6-7. Human life is as impermanent as grass. Physical beauty is as short-lived as the flowers of the field. The grass withers, and the flowers droop and die.
1:25 In contrast, the word of the Lord endures forever (Isa 40:8). Therefore, the new life of the believer is equally incorruptible. This incorruptible word is the message of good news which was preached to Peter's readers and which caused them to be born again. It was the source of their eternal life.

∙ 16y agoThe sufferings for being a CHRISTIAN, such as persecution and penalties for our beliefs or for behaving as The Bible instructs instead of the way non-Christians would, are to be born with grace and joy, for the Holy Spirit is glorified. But we are to take no comfort in sufferings we bring upon ourselves, such as through evil-doing or meddling in others' business. 1 Peter 4 12Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 15But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. 16Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 17For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 19Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
