Death is Not an Accident
Commentators emphasize that a believer's death is not a random or accidental event. God does not take it lightly; it is a 'precious' and deliberate act within His sovereign plan. Scholars like Albert Barnes and John Calvin explain that God orchestrates the timing and circumstances of a saint's death, viewing it as a matter of great importance connected to His grand purposes.
