The Question is Simple ~~ Entropy

It is a simple question with a simple answer; yes or no. Are you born again to life everlasting, or are you dying? Are you caught in the perpetual state of entropy?
Deny it all you will, entropy is a fact of your lives, of all living things.

I decided to brush up on what I think I know and understand, so I went to Websters to get my definitions.

Merriam Webster - Entropy
Did You Know?
With its Greek prefix en-, meaning "within", and the trop- root here meaning "change", entropy basically means "change within (a closed system)". The closed system we usually think of when speaking of entropy (especially if we're not physicists) is the entire universe. But entropy applies to closed systems of any size. Entropy is seen when the ice in a glass of water in a warm room melts—that is, as the temperature of everything in the room evens out. In a slightly different type of entropy, a drop of food coloring in that glass of water soon spreads out evenly. However, when a nonphysicist uses the word, he or she is usually trying to describe a large-scale collapse.

(Without copying the entire web page, there are just a few other things said on this site about entropy that I thought I'd share to help us get a better grasp on death. You can always read more at that site, or any.)

Definition -
broadly : the degree of disorder or uncertainty in a system
2a : the degradation of the matter and energy in the universe to an ultimate state of inert uniformity

Entropy is the general trend of the universe toward death and disorder.
— James R. Newman

b : a process of degradation or running down or a trend to disorder

The deterioration of copy editing and proof-reading, incidentally, is a token of the cultural entropy that has overtaken us in the postwar years.
— John Simon

The opposite of entropy - new life

Born Again - by definition from the Bible ~ The New Birth ~ John 3

1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; 2 this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

4 Nicodemus *said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?”

5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’

8 The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Amen

Jesus is easy. The answer is easy. Are you born again? Born of the Spirit of God and not just the dirt of this earth? Are you made new supernaturally? A new creation in Jesus Christ?
God created us in His image and by His Spirit He will transform us into a better image of Him, until the day of completion comes. Amen

There will be a day when our faith becomes sight. A day of Jesus' return.
I've been telling you this for several years now. Step out of entropy and step into new life in Jesus.

Go from death to life with a prayer, "Jesus! Help me. God! Show me."
Why die when you can live?

Choose Jesus for He chose you!
