“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” Philippians 1:21.
Only
a person with deep and unshakable faith can say that. We may affirm to the
statement in our minds, but we have to be of strong faith to say that. Paul saw
tremendous things that Christ did around him, in him and through him and therefore
could say such a radical statement. He saw that his religious zeal prior to
coming to Christ led to nowhere, except pain for others. He saw how sinful he
was and his desire to be with Christ was natural. Jesus has to become more real
than people around us in order for us to say that. But that is possible!
