Keys to Living for Christ 1: What Shall I Choose?

When Paul records his dilemma whether to depart from this life to be with Christ versus to remain and be with Christ's people, we gain insight into our living for Christ. Paul loved Christ and loved what Christ loved--including Christ's people. Therefore, though he desired to depart and be with Christ--which was better by far--he determined to remain to serve Christ by serving Christ's people.

And so the first simple key to living for Christ is to love Christ and to love what Christ loves--especially to love Christ’s people. And to live for Christ by living for Christ people.
