Live Unto Christ

Philippians 1:21  

"For to me to live is Christ, 

and to die is gain."

       Christ was Paul's life and author of his spiritual life; He spoke it into him, produced it in Him, and disciplined Him with it: and He was his life, objectively, the matter and object of his life. It was not so much he that lived, as Christ that lived in him; he lived by faith on Christ, and his spiritual life was maintained and supported by feeding on Him as the bread of life; He was his life, "finally", the end of his life. Paul's aim throughout the whole course of his life was the glory of Christ, the good of  church and people, the spread of the Gospel, and the Glory and Honor of his Lord.
        Paul set the example for Christians, no matter where we are in our Spiritual life.We must be prepared to live or to die, that Jesus Christ might be magnified. Are we willing to remain for a little longer outside of heaven, if that would better serve the cause we loved? We should be! Does it seem good to suffer? Yes, if it is only on the behalf of Christ. Oh that we might experience a similar absorption in the interests of the gospel!
        Amen!
