    Contributed by Nigel Heath on Mar 4, 2016
     | 6,891 views

    Only when we can say, 'For me to live is Christ' can we truly say, 'to die is gain'. Spiritual maturity is the outcome of a life truly surrendered to Jesus Christ as Lord.

    While the Philippians wanted to know how Paul was doing so that they might further provide aid to help reduce his suffering, Paul wanted his “partner” to know that while he was in chains, the word of God certainly was not being restricted!

    Our salvation gives us a new look, a new perspective, on life so that changes how we deal with things that come into our life.

    Our Salvation in Jesus Christ does not merely give us hope for some point in the future.
