COMMENTARY
When you are alive you have expectations and are able to do, say and think. However, when you die, you know nothing.
Scripture refers to the Lord as the “living God” (Deut. 5:26) not only because He is the only God who is alive—the other gods being dead because they do not truly exist as gods—but also because He is the God of the living. God’s relationship to His people does not end at their death, for they live on to worship Him in heaven. Because God is the God of the living, we know that all His promises to us will be kept either now or in the world to come. (Ligonier.org)
