GOD: NOT THE GOD OF THE DEAD

"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." Says the Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 22:32 KJV

  God is not the God of the dead

Pa Hagin, once wrote in his book: "Man In Three Dimensions, that there're three kinds of Death: Spiritual death, physical death and the second death, which is the Lake of fire.
He went on, spiritual death occasioned by rebellion, resulted in physical death. And the final home of all the dead is the Lake of Fire which is called the Second Death. Rev 20:15

TO TELL THE TRUTH, human beings are born spiritually dead, by nature and by inheritance.
This is a permanent affliction brought upon the human race by Adam and Eve, the human ancestors.
 Gen 3:23-24

Theologically; God is defined in Three "Ls." First off, God is Life; God is Love and God is Light. God is Life and the only source of it. John 1:1-4; Acts 17:28. As you full well know, the opposite of Life is Death. And Death, spiritual or physical, means SEPARATION from LIFE,   God, That's.
So, to be spiritually Dead means "Separation" from the Living God.
Spirit beings; however, are Immortal. Humans are spirit beings with tangible mortal bodies.
When a spirit is said to be dead. It does not mean cessation nor cease to exist; neither.
Not at all.
 It still continue to exist; though, but it doesn't live. There's a whole lot difference betwixt Live and Exist.
For to live is to be aware. Is to appreciate all the good things of life, to love, to be happy. Galatians 5:19
Undoubtedly, the Devil and his Confederates were the first casualties to be Separated from the living God Life. Lk 10:18; Rev.12:22-13
And Adam and his wife followed after. Gen. 3:23-24
In mankind, this "Separation" resulted in Mortality of his physical body. Rom 3:33

God: The God Of The Living
God is the God of the living and not the God of the dead.
The trouble is, no one cottons to a dead person; nor God; neither. .
What was it the Lord Jesus Christ said? God is not the God of the DEAD but of the LIVING.
Why?
Maybe because a dead man is of no use to nobody.
That should be it.

Satan: The Lord Of The Dead
Satan is the Lord of the Dead, without doubt. All those that are separated from God of which Satan and his fallen angels were the first the devil is their lord.

Cemetery: The Home Of The Physical Dead
As far as that goes, the place allotted to the physically dead, segregated from the living, is Cemetery. A place where the dead bodies of men are buried deep on the earth, forever Separated from all the Living.


   Cemetery is the home of the physically dead

Hell: The Abode Of The Spiritually Dead
In like manner, a place called Hell, an under-ground world of gloom. A sunless world. A place bathed in abysmal darkness was set aside for the spiritually dead. Matthew 25:41
This is the abode of Satan, evil spirits and damned souls of men.
So, when humans die on earth, before the advent of the Lord Jesus Christ, their Souls descended into this place of pitch darkness, burning with flame, brimstone and sulfur.
This is what the Holy Bible calls the Second Death, or second Separation. Rev. 20:15.
So far, as you can see, this is why one must be Born Again to be spiritually Alive.
To unite with God (Life) is to be alive spiritually. This is called Born Again.

,    Hell is the abode of the spiritually dead


Jesus: The Facilitator Of The New Birth
"...I am (Jesus ) come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."  John 10:10 KJV

It's a scientific truth, that when a single sperm cell from the male unites with a single egg cell from the female the result is a human being.  This is the natural way all men are born.
However, Jesus was not born this way. His was a Supernatural birth by the Virgin Mary.
So utterly void of Adamic nature, blood line, streak, ancestry and affliction.

Life comes from Life. So when a body accepts Jesus Christ as his Saviour and Lord He imparts life into his hitherto dead spirit and becomes the child of God.

"For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope:" Ecclesiastes 9:4
The hope of eternal life, that is.

Heaven: The Home Of The Spiritually Alive
Heaven is then abode of the living God and all those that have received the life of God through the Lord Jesus Christ.
When a hitherto dead soul receives life from God through the Lord Jesus he is said to be born again. This is the new life. When he dies his soul goes to the land of the living in heaven.

            Heaven is the home of the living


However, the cards are on the table, you either accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and receives Life or you decide against it and remain dead.

The choice is yours, my friend.
So long.

The Prophet-Messenger
