"For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." - Philippians 1:21
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing." - 2 Timothy 4:7,8
Apostle Paul had a great testimony and witness to the Lord Jesus Christ. After his conversion, he dedicated his life in speaking the truth of the gospel to many nations and people. Toward the end of his life, he could boldly proclaim that he has finished the race well, he has kept the faith and finally awaiting the crown of righteousness. Not knowing when our last day on earth will be, how will be our testimony to the Lord Jesus Christ? Will it be similar to Apostle Paul, or somewhere close? Christians are called to live their life faithful to the Lord and telling others the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. May our testimony be similar to Apostle Paul to say, "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. I have kept the faith".
Praise the Lord!
