THE GOD OF THE LIVING
(Scripture) :- Matthew 22:32, KJV. "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
(The Word) :- Good morning. Rise and Shine. Hope you had a good night rest?
Our God is alive. He lives for ever more (Rev.1:18). He has been before the foundations of the earth were made and He will continue to exist even after heaven and earth have passed away. Death, simply put, is separation. When someone is separated from this physical world, we can say the person is dead. So is it also in the spiritual realm. When someone is separated from God, we can perfectly also say that such person is dead. That's why, Apostle Paul, in Rom.6:2 could speak of being dead in sin.
Those that are dead in sin are those who are still living in sin, who are still controlled by the nature of sin and are fulfilling it's desires while those that are living are those who are associated with the quickening Spirit (1 cor. 15:45) and the Life (John 14:6).
When Jesus said in our anchor scripture that He is the God of the living and not the dead, we see that He meant that He is only a God to those who have decided to come under His Lordship, those who have accepted Him into their lives as their Lord and Saviour. To these people, He is their God. They will call on Him and He will answer (Jer.33:3), they will seek Him and find Him (Prov.8:17), He will provide for them, bless them and grant them their heart desires (Matt.7:7, John 16:24).
If you're dead (not born again, or disconnected from Him), don't expect these things from Him. However, you can also be a partaker. The first step is to accept Him into your life as your Lord and Saviour. He will make you His own, put His life in you. You will begin to live in Him and then you will be entitled to all that comes with living a life with Jesus. #SELAH
