"I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. I am
THE GOD OF THE LIVING, and not the dead."
The One Truth Today is a remarkable statement that was made by the Lord God after the deaths of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, . It confirms to us all that there is life after death when the Lord said, I am THE GOD OF THE LIVING! What do you believe will happen to you after you die? Is your death the end of everything? The Sadducees', at the time of Jesus Christ, did not believe in the resurrection of the dead. They obviously did not understand the scriptures. They did not acknowledge the power of God over life and death. Do you believe in the resurrection of your body after death? Where will your soul spend eternity? If you do not believe God you will be just like the Sadducees', wrong, and not understanding of His power!
Whether you believe it or not, Jesus Christ is THE GOD OF THE LIVING!
In Exodus 3: 6 God said, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."
God was speaking in the present tense. His message was clear, that He is the God of the living and not the dead. Although their earthly bodies had passed and had been buried in the ground, their soul and their new heavenly body was present with the Lord. They were not just figures of the past, but still living and present with the Lord. God spoke of this long after they had died to the flesh. There is no confusion in this message,. The faithful and righteous among us will be resurrected to be with Jesus Christ the Lord God for eternity. He is not the God of the dead, he is THE GOD OF THE LIVING!
Many heard the message then and many have heard the message now. Some did not hear the message then and some do not hear the message now, but, the message has never changed!
Those who do not believe in life after death are in for a shocking revelation upon their demise.
You have not comprehended the power and plan of God. His Word has revealed to all who will listen what your future holds. That is why it is explained so often that "the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God". If you are not afraid of death and your future, you are a fool, and once more you are a dead man walking. If you accept and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ you will be Saved and your soul and new body will live on for eternity in Heaven. Even though you have died to the flesh the Lord will say about you, I am THE GOD OF THE LIVING!
