Yahweh is ‘The Living God’
Our belief in the resurrection is based upon a faith relationship with God as creator. Reflecting on the beauty and mystery of creation, we ask if there is more to life, if there is something beyond the grave. Will not God who loves us now with his good gifts care for us in the afterlife?
But there is a better reason. God intervenes in our affairs with a definite purpose. He has a plan for us that includes life after death. As a God who makes history, he marked the centre point of all human affairs in the resurrection of his Son.
As Jesus pointed out in his response to the Sadducees, YHWH is the “Living God.” He desires living beings to worship him and return his love. He has shown us the door through death to a new life. As long as we worship him, we can be assured that he will not abandon us. He wants us to live forever!
