When Jesus said, “[God] is not the God of the dead but of the living” (Matthew 22.32), he was affirming the belief in the resurrection of the dead. But also in that statement, a wonderful truth came to me personally. He is my God; he is the God of the living: therefore, I am alive!
Hallelujah! We are alive! In Christ we have been made alive. He gives us life to the full. In the land of the dying, we live! Death has no more dominion over us.
Too often we live as though our sin or circumstances have the final word in our lives. And eventually, of course, our circumstances lead to death. But, we don’t have to live that way. We are children of life!
Jesus once said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11.24b-26)
Do you believe this? Can you say, “God you are my God, so I am alive. Nothing can take away my life in you.”?
