Mark 12:13-27
“God’s promises are not made to the dead but to the living. If Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are dead, as the Sadducees believe, then God’s promise to them was limited to the duration of their earthly lives, which renders his promises finite and unfulfilled. God’s word, however, cannot be bound; it is not an epitaph of human limitations but a promise of divine potential. God would not pledge himself to the dead unless the dead were raised to life. Jesus’ argument for the reality of resurrection is based on the assumption that the call of God establishes a relationship with God, and once a relationship with God is established, it bears the promise of God and cannot be ended, even by death. The relationship is the result of the promise and power of God that conquers the last enemy, death itself.” - James
