I feel a bit inspired. I should say that God is the God of the living, and not the dead. It is a strange message, but true. The salvation of God brings forth life. This is strange for a race, a planet of people who only know many prayers and songs and death, but true. The living God does not save a soul from the injustice of hell, but the flesh from the condemnation of the grave. A god that does not save the flesh is nothing more than an idol of a man's handiwork, an idol of a woman's imagination; a useless abomination of whose account is nothing at all. It was said concerning the salvation from death that God said to Moses, "I am the God of Abraham". If Abraham lived and believed God, then God is the God of Abraham; God is the God of a man alive, a man not abandoned to the grave. Understanding that God is only God of the living, it should be evident that God would require mercy and justice rather than offerings and sacrifices. It should be evident that God requires humanity to show compassion to humanity rather than lift their eyes and sing a thousand songs or hold to heart hundreds of useless doctrines. It should be evident that God requires the living to seek the face of God in truth and know humbling compassion and mercy from their Maker, which is given without measure. There is nothing more that God requires from people. God saves the flesh for a reason, and without reason, there is death.
