Life after Death

   But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 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 (Matthew 22:31-32). Jesus alluded to God’s burning bush appearance to Moses.

   When God spoke to Moses out of the burning bush, He said to him, I am the God of your father-the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. (Exodus 3:6a). As Jesus points out, the verb am is in the present tense; God did not say, “I was the God of your fathers.” He said, “I am their God,” showing that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were still alive (in heaven) in Moses’ day. When Moses asked God, “Who will I say has sent me when they ask?  God said to tell them that I Am has sent him.

   When a person dies, that person goes to heaven or to hell immediately. They don’t soul sleep. What did Jesus tell the thief on the cross?

   And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.  And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise (Luke 23:42-43).

   So what is resurrected and comes out of the grave? It is the body that is raised in newest of life and it is reunited with us in heaven.
