I read that it is the devil that takes people’s lives. I’ve come to believe this is true. I believe that the devil takes the life and that then the person goes to heaven or Jesus and everlasting life. I’ve come to that conclusion because some people die a horrible death and Jesus didn’t want us to be sad so it must be the devil taking the life and then the soul goes to heaven. Does this sound logical? What do others believe? I’m not talking about *after *we die, I’m talking about the *actual *death. In other words, Jesus doesn’t take life away, he only gives it, right? Jesus heals and gives everlasting life and the devil kills.
 
Genesis 6:3

And God said: My spirit shall not remain in man for ever, because he is flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

It is true that bodily death (from which man would have been immune) is a result of original sin so I suppose you could say in that respect that bodily Death is a result of the workings of the Devil…but I do not believe that a persons actual Death or the act of dying is a direct result of the Devil “killing” us , although surely sometimes death does occur because of the heinous act of some evil doer.

Death comes in various forms, a car crash, illness, silently in a hospital room, peacefully at home.
