The God of the Living

No. 550. The God of the Living.

PLEASE explain Matt. 22:32. Is not God the God of the righteous dead? S. R. C.
The text says that he is the God of the living. He does not count the righteous as dead. Righteousness is life. They only sleep. In his purpose they are alive, for he will raise up to immortality all who are found clothed in his righteousness. Their life is hid with him. Col. 3:3. He is “not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live unto him.” Luke 20:38. He calls “those things which be not as tho they were” (Rom. 4:17), because in him they are.
