To Live Is Christ To Die Is Gain

Using Paul's radical letter to the Philippians as his road map, Matt Chandler forsakes the trendy to invite readers into authentic Christian maturity. The short book of Philippians is one of the most quoted in the Bible, yet Paul wrote it not for the popular sound bites, but to paint a picture of a mature Christian faith. While many give their lives to Jesus, few then go on to live a life of truly vibrant faith. In this disruptively inspiring book, Chandler offers tangible ways to develop a faith of pursuing, chasing, knowing, and loving Jesus. Because if we clean up our lives but don't get Jesus, we've lost! So let the goal be Him. To live is Christ, to die is gain—this is the message of the letter. Therefore, our lives should be lived to Him, through Him, for Him, with Him, about Him—everything should be about Jesus.

Psalm 23 is probably the best-known and most-read passage in the Bible—a wonderfully reassuring picture of the believer’s life. Through it we learn that the Lord God Almighty is the faithful, heavenly Shepherd of His sheep—not only faithfully leading His sheep in life but also through the valley of the shadow of death and bringing them into His house, where He will dwell with them forever. Reflecting on Psalm 23 verse by verse will help readers see how rich and privileged the believer’s life is as they learn how God is personally committed to protect and bring His people to be with Him in heaven.
