Matthew 22:31-32 has been cited in an attempt to prove that Abraham is not dead – that he has already gone to his promised reward without having to be resurrected, which is not what Jesus used this illustration to point out. Christ states plainly in John 3:13 that “no man has ascended to heaven” – which would obviously include Abraham!
God is the God of the living, not the dead. Jesus was speaking of their future resurrection to immortal life!
