Was God's Creation Include Death?
Death, as sad as it may be, is perhaps the most beautiful thing ever created by God. Death is just another journey, without death, there will never be birth and life. Losing someone is inevitable.Death is temporary and the meaning of life and death.
As we all knew that each one of us would experience death. Somehow, when we hear the word death we feel fear and sadness. But, as what quote above "There would no birth without death". Each one of us will pass away in this world and I want to leave a legacy where I could remember by many people if they hear my name. We lived everyday and we die once, it's up to you what is matter the most in you.
Let us focus on the definition of every words in the Wikipedia on what is the meaning of death.

Permanent
which means lasting or intended to last or remain unchanged indefinitely. You can't live again because if we died we are "permanent" dead, there's no other way to go back in life, unless God will permit us through His power and miracles. When we hear the word permanent which means lasting or forever, you can't prevent death.
No one can Prevent Death
Even those people who are so wealthy, they will experience death. Their money can't stop them to die, because even you want it or not as long as it is your time to face death then you will die. Even those people who are the most powerful and have a highest positions in this world can't escape from death.
But, if we will based on the Bible. Is God intend to create death?
At first, in the Book of Genisis. God created heaven and earth and He see that His creation was good. God only allows to eat herbs and plants, also the food of animals at first was the herbs that God was created. Animals didn't prey each other because God design them to eat only the herbs. Adam and Eve didn't eat animals but only the fruits, vegetables and herbs that God was created. In Genisis 1:29-30 (ESV) the Lord said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food.” It was clear says that humans and animals was vegetarian or they only eat fruits and vegetables and herbs that God was created. But, after the flood during the time of Noah. Human and animals can eat animals (meat), animals can prey animals.
How Death occurred?
After in the sixth day of God's creation, Lucifer the King of angels leads a rebellion to God because of His wonderful creation. God didn't allow to tolerate the sin and the rebellion of lucifer leads to the origin of death. That's why, in the old times "People killed the lambs or animals to give into God".
We can't deny the fact that Adam and Eve also commit a sin to God. That's why, it something tells us about that in this world full of sin and mistakes we need a Savior who can bring out from the sin that we are from.
It was already stated in the bible that our body will faced death and our soul will face to judgement.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23 (NIV)
The wages of sin is death, this speaks that before we die we must ask God forgiveness to all the sin that was committed. And the gift of God is the eternal life that is in Jesus Christ our Lord, we must accept God that He is our Lord and Savior and He save us through Grace and not by Faith. This is the only hope that we can guarantee that if we faced out body in death we are confident to die because we are assured that we are belong to the eternal life that God has promised to us.

God is the source of all goodness. It was Adam and Eve who committed sin and punished by God. Their original sin passed on us. Death is happened first before we enter into His kingdom.
