Acts 13:36a “Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep…” Each of us who lives to serve our God could place our name in place of David’s name in this passage.  When our God intended purpose for our lives is accomplished, we will fall asleep, leave this earth and enter eternal happiness in Heaven.  That is God’s promise to each of us.  With that being believed as truth, two things happen:  1. we live to serve our God, desiring to accomplish the purpose He intends for our lives and 2. we should have no fear of death as leaving this earth is simply a gateway to the most glorious life we could possibly imagine.
