Phili 1:21 | MHM | STEP | The Apostle's Generous Exultation. In this passage, Paul shares his view of life and death as a Christian. For him, living means serving Christ, and dying means gaining even more because he will be with Christ. Paul is not afraid of dying, but he is also willing to keep living if it means he can help others grow in faith. His attitude teaches us to put Jesus first, whether we live or die. v. 21 : Paul says, For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain (Philippians 1:21 ). This means his whole life is about serving and honoring Christ. If he dies, he knows it will be even better for him because he will be with Jesus. For a Christian, death is not a loss but a great gain. It marks the end of pain and the beginning of perfect joy with Christ (Philippians 1:20 ).
