The Reason You Are Still Alive

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.
