Someone reading this today…has quietly wondered—👉 “Where is God… in all of this?”In the pain.In the silence.In the unanswered prayers.🙏 This might be for them.⸻And this I know:👉 I am a child of God… a joint heir.And I know God is not dead—👉 because I’m one of His next of kin…and I haven’t been notified of His passing.⸻But someone you know…may quietly believe the opposite.“God is dead.”Maybe they’ve never said it out loud……but they’ve felt it—👉 in silence…👉 in pain…👉 in unanswered prayers.⸻✨ GOD IS NOT DEAD ✨⸻👉 I believe something with all my heart:📖 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1 — KJV)👉 Jesus is not just from God…👉 Jesus is God.And because of that—Jesus died.He was buried.And He rose again the third day…📖 according to the Scriptures. (I Corinthians 15:4)⸻But the Apostle Paul doesn’t leave us guessing…👉 “If Christ be not risen… your faith is also vain… If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.” (I Corinthians 15:14,19)👉 “But now is Christ risen from the dead…” (I Corinthians 15:20)👉 Thank Heaven for those two words…But…now.And everything changed.⸻And God Himself invites us:📖 “Come now, and let us reason together…” (Isaiah 1:18)⸻👉 So let’s reason this out…👉 Because faith is not blind… it has evidence.🖐️ Five reasons I know God is not dead:⸻🔹 1) The tomb is emptyThey went looking for Him…👉 but He wasn’t there.“He is not here… for He is risen.”⸻🔹 2) Eyewitnesses saw Him📖 He was seen of Cephas… then of the twelve… then over five hundred at once… (I Corinthians 15:5–6)👉 The eyes have it.⸻🔹 3) The will has been written… and the Testator has spoken📖 “He that believeth in me… though he were dead, yet shall he live.” (John 11:25)📖 “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore…” (Revelation 1:18)⸻🔹 4) The promise is still in motion👉 “I go to prepare a place for you…”A living Savioris still preparing…👉 That’s not past tense.⸻🔹 5) Lives are still being changedAddictions are being broken.Hearts are being healed.Lives are being restored.Souls are being eternally saved.👉 Not by a memory…👉 but by a living Savior.Because dead men don’t change lives—👉 but Jesus still does.⸻✨ He is alive.✨ He is present.✨ He is eternal.📖 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” (Hebrews 13:8)⸻👉 So when someone says, “God is dead…”You can answer with confidence:👉 “No… He’s not.”Because an empty tomb…a written promise…and lives changed…👉 all say the same thing:God is…and was…and always shall be.⸻Therefore, I agree with the words of a beloved hymn written in response to the question:“Why do Christians worship a dead Savior?”👉… Because we don’t! We serve a risen One!🎵 “I serve a risen Saviour, He's in the world todayI know that He is living, whatever men may sayI see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheerAnd just the time I need Him He's always near!He lives! He lives! Salvation to impart!You ask me how I know He lives?He lives within my heart!” 🎵⸻✨ GOD IS NOT DEAD. ✨And because He lives—👉 we can face tomorrow.👉 all fear is gone.⸻👉 Someone you love…who’s been hurting…who’s been questioning…may need this today.Share it with them.♥️ And if this spoke to your heart—👉 Follow Devotions From The HeartThis page exists for moments like this.I write for the person who is hurting… but still holding on.
