Honoring Christ in Life

“To live is Christ” means we strive for fruitful labor (1:22, cf. 1:11).
Paul models a Kingdom motivated life (1:24).
We honor God by causing others to glorify Him (1:26).

Honoring Christ in Death

“To die is gain,” means we are given eternal glory (1:23).
Our outlook on death indicates our genuine salvation (1:23-25).
How we live and die impacts other believers (1:24-26).
The more we live as Christ, the more we gain in death.
