He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken! (12:27)
We have to think the meaning living not at our viewpoint but God’s. Some may feel this word is too schematized one. A doubt arises in our mind how we can distinguish man’s viewpoint and God’s viewpoint. It is difficult to analyze such matter in this short writing. Leaving behind such missing point I would like to point out important one only.
Our discussing point is the relationship between God and life. It is said that we are not able to understand the life after death because we think of life in too small category. We have to bring down such preconception. Death is a clear incident that our biological life phenomenon is stopping. However, no one can decisively confirm our life itself is completely ended with death.
If you ask me to prove it I cannot do it directly. It is not the level of proof but trust. We only can trust the resurrection life that the Bible explained and promised is right however cannot prove it demonstratively. It is not right to say that the thing cannot be provable is not truth. How can the human who are living in this momentary world prove the ultimate life incident that only can be proved through the entire history of universe?
The Bible says God created the world from nothing. The nothing doesn’t mean a mere empty status but something that has not equipped with a form of existence. The God revived Jesus Christ from the dead. At this point the resurrection is a creation incident. If the first creation is demonstrated at the point of nothing then the resurrection is demonstrated out of being. Jesus is recreated from the world of being that should die to the eternal life where no death is.
