To Live is Christ

Lawrence Kelley preached for us Sunday morning. His lesson was called "To Live is Christ." Here are some lessons I learned.

1. Paul's purpose statement: "so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death" (Philippians 1:20).

2. To magnify is to enlarge, to show as great - Christ is worthy of our magnification!

3. Death is the last expression of faith and confidence in Christ (see Philippians 1:21).

4. Death is not "gain" if you are not living for Christ (see Philippians 1:21).

5. As you enjoy the blessings of Christ, don't lose sight of the blesser, Christ Himself (see Philippians 1:23).

Fill in the blank: "For to me, to live is _____, and to die is gain."
