death is gain (phil 1:21)

 Philippians 1:21

For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.

This is a crazy statement to the world's ears. Everybody is living for something and for that "something" dying is loss, not gain. If you are living for money, you lose it when you die. If you are living for power, you lose it when you die. Only living for Christ will turn death into gain, because we go to be with Him.

"Only Christ makes dying gain...only Christ, otherwise it's loss. " McArthur
