“To Live is Christ, to Die is Gain”, Part 2

As Christians we must learn not merely to live for Christ, but to realize that Christ is our life. If we have Christ, we have everything we need and we can lose nothing. Even death will be our gain, not a loss. Our death will become the full realization of our salvation-deliverance from our sins and our union with Jesus Christ. What was symbolized by marriage in this life will be fully realized in the intimate marriage union in Perfection-Glory that we will all experience through the portal of death. Having the mindset “Christ is my life and to die is gain” will help us to make progress in our faith and grow in our joy (Phil. 1:25).
