Luke 20:38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the
living:
for all live unto him.
This life is just a fleeting moment in time. God is,
indeed,
the God of the living. He is the Creator and the giver of
life.
It in in the hands of God that we find meaning and the resources for
life.
It is through the death of Jesus for our sins on the cross 2000 years
ago
that we merit eternal life, not our own good. We are told that in
the eyes of God all of our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.
The
Disciples, the learners, the Apostles, those sent out, questioned Jesus
asking who can be saved. Jesus replied that with God all things
are
possible. He is the Giver of Life. His desire is for all to
spend eternity in heaven. But Billy Graham has called this earth
a dressing room for eternity. Indeed, God has told us that there
is no other way given among men for us to gain entrance into heaven,
but
through Jesus the Christ, the Annointed of God. If we would
prepare
for that life which comes after our separation from this earth, then
Jesus
is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We must look to Him for
eternal
life, but it is eternal life that he came to give. Jesus pointed
out that many will choose the darkness, the unrighteousness, the
disobedience
of God, rather than choosing obedience to God and reverence toward
Jesus
and His great love for us. The dead, those choosing disobedience
and rejection of Jesus, do not have Jesus as Lord, and do not subject
themselves
to God. The living are those who choose to be a part of the
Kingdom
of God and accept His lordship ruling in their lives. The living
have a God who will accept them unto eternal life and into heaven.
