For to me, living is for Christ, and dying is even better. Philippians 1:21 NLT
There’s probably not a better passion testing verse in the Bible than today’s verse. Ask yourself the question, “Does that verse describe the truest part of my heart?”. Is life really all about Christ to you?
Several years ago I visited the grave of my great-grandparents. They had immigrated to this country from Germany. Their tombstone was written in German. On the tombstone were the German words for Philippians 1:21. “Fo me to live is Christ, and to die is great gain.” (NIV) I can’t describe to you in words the flood of emotions I felt when I realized my great-grandparents came to this country with a passion for Christ. I want my life to have that same passion.
How’s your passion? Yesterday I encouraged you to spend some time with God asking Him to reveal your passion and renew your passion. Today I encourage you again. Take some time alone with God and consider your passion for Him.
There is no greater life than a life sold-out to Christ. Whether you live or die it really is all about Jesus!
