Matthew 22:32

Posted by joncooper

Matthew 22:32: “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.”

In this verse, Jesus is pointing out that God said I am their God, instead of I was their God. Since God used the present tense when talking about people who had died a long time ago, those people must therefore still be alive. Since they are still alive, there must be a resurrection.

Do you see what happened here? Jesus defended the resurrection of the dead based on the tense of a single word in the Old Testament. That is how much faith Jesus had in the Bible! He believed that every word was absolutely reliable.
