"God has destined us for acquiring salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us, that all of us, whether awake or asleep, together might live with him," (1 Thessalonians 5:9-10, NAB).
Once we give ourselves to God, we will always belong to Him. We can never be separated from God, not even by death. We see that in this passage from 1 Thessalonians. In our salvation we will always belong to God.
"Whether awake or asleep" we our God's creation, God's children. Asleep meaning dead. If we still belong to God when we die then we should not worry what will happen to us. For we our God's and we will always be with him.
While awake it will be in our spiritual relationships that keep us with God. When asleep we will be with God in person in Heaven. That's an amazing thing to look forward to when the time comes.
