"For He [God] is not the God of the dead but of the living . . . "
Most people we will meet, work with, or speak to today are walking dead souls. They have no life, because they do not possess the Author of Life, the Lord Jesus Christ. These people exist, they can breathe air--but they are not alive in the most real and profound sense. The Lord is not their God, because they are dead. The true God is *only* the God of the living.
If we are alive in Christ today as His church, then these three princip-
al truths will guide us, (and they will be no burden to us): 1) we will continue to believe in Jesus; 2) we will love Him; and 3) we will wit-
ness (spread) His life everywhere we can.
