The God of the Living (4)

He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken! (12:27)

The verse, ‘God is not the God of dead, but of the living’ signifies that life, true life, eternal life and resurrection life is possible in God only. We shouldn’t miss the point that resurrection, the core of Christianity faith has its meaning with God only rather than saying something independently.

In God a tree, a river, a mountain and even a rock get life. It is said that life of the earth began from DNA and God is the one who had done it possible. Then it may say the entire living being, what manner may be, get life in God.

The matter is whether we are abiding in God or not. If we see this world at the broad point of view, nothing in this world exist out of God’s hand. Whether it is evil or meaningless everything is ultimately in God’s hand. God still embraces even evil which deviates from God’s nature. It is because everything happens in God’s creation.

In order to save such evil, salvation means to get life, God chose Jesus Christ. Jesus’ cross is the victory of evil. It is the event the reality of evil is revealed. In the cross, God revealed himself as a helpless being. Jesus’ resurrection is God’s victory. It revealed God’s creative power. God was revealed as the one who had the power of life in there. God rather overcome evil by resurrection life than repay it by evil.

Now no one get loose their life in this world. We all are able to abide in God’s life. The only need to us is to believe the fact.
