What Life Is About - Philippians 1:18-24

Why did God make us? Why did he save us? What is our life about? The answer to all three questions is the same. The Westminster Shorter Catechism asks the question this way: "What is the chief end of man?" And it answers it thus: "Man's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy him forever." But how is that lived out specifically? Paul gives a more specific answer in Philippians 1:21:

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

For the Christian life is Christ. And for Paul, Christ is the gospel, Christ is God's glory, and the redemption wrought by Christ's cross is the purpose for which the world was created. This is the subject of Paul's discourse early in his letter to the Philippians.

I invite you to take a listen to the Bible study from this past Wednesday night where we covered this portion of the letter. It is my prayer that it will be a blessing to you.
