Living for Christ: Purpose, Focus, and Unity

Despite his imprisonment, Paul’s unwavering joy and commitment led him to write his famous declaration, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Understanding what this means enables us to see what it is to honor Christ with our lives and bodies. Paul uses his own life’s purpose to call the Philippian church — and those of us in the Christian church today — to stand together in striving for a focused unity and purpose in our faith.
