Alive in the eternal remembrance of God

I have just found a theologian saying what I've been thinking and trying to express well in the last couple of years. The emboldened clause is the key bit for me just now:

In the long term, I think that theology is about knowing that our life as we know it could finish in a second; but on the other hand, if we are kept in the memory of God, we are really immortal. How can we live our everyday life like that, on the edge between mortality and eternity? The only answer I have touched on is love, which became personal and incarnated for us. The main message of the gospel is that love is stronger than death. In the end, faith is not a set of beliefs, but feeling surrounded by the love of God and reflecting that love back to the world Interview: Andreas Andreopoulos, theologian

The bit that I'm struggling to find a way to express and that Andreas doesn't say here is to do with how the memory of God holds us so that we are freely ourselves in God's love and philosophically how we might understand continuity of identity.

I suspect in regard to the latter, the answer is probably that we are always in God and that never ceases; our eternal medium of being continues because it is eternity itself; God. Or something like that. God present yesterday, today and tomorrow, knows us in each moment and carries us over beyond the moments of this life. This life cannot continue to hold us, but God's can and will.
