God of the Living
Jesus's proof for life after death is profound. By quoting God's statement "I am the God of Abraham..." from Exodus, spoken centuries after the patriarchs died, He shows they were still alive in God's presence. Commentators explain that God's relationship is with living beings, not the extinct. This confirms that for believers, physical death is not the end of existence.
