Proof of Life After Death
Multiple commentators highlight that Jesus Himself used this verse to prove the resurrection. By saying "I am," not "I was," the God of the patriarchs, God reveals that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are still alive in His presence. As Jesus argued in the New Testament, God is the God of the living, not the dead, providing Old Testament evidence for life after death.
