For to me to live is Christ Philippians 1:21

"BECAUSE FOR ME TO LIVE IS CHRIST" 

Philippians 1:21

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

Paul's life was introduced in Christ, was baptized in God, in Christ and Christ lived in Him Galatians 2:20. John 6:57 b "He that eateth me, the same also shall live by me" is Christ living our lives as well as the son of God was so inseparably united to the Father in Christ we are completely united with him, and this in our life is OR WILL manifest with multiple bindings to Christ, He is our living, to the look, to the love, In The glorify, to the still of the talk, think.
It is the biggest problem today amongst Christians LIVING for them is not Christ but a famous soccer player, a football team of our country, or sweatshirt in our selection. These are the things that dominate the mood and state of mind of many Christians today, and can dominate the Gold or Honor or prestige, however the you have to master, our mood and our lives is Christ.

DEFINITION: "For me to live is Christ" means that the practical life in this world of Paul is totally immersed in Christ, and totally united to Him in love of God, manifested externally by a life to glorify and serve Christ in all respects in his kingdom in faith and love, and Christ being everything in our daily life on earth, their words, their thoughts, their meditation, service your heart, your life.
Romans 11:36. Colossians 3:11.
1-THE CONVERSION OF PAUL:
As we have preached to this, he was a terrible persecutor but as first-line tells Acts 9 and Acts chapter 26, the Damascus Road has a personal encounter with the risen Christ there believes in HIM AND becomes as immediately at your service and began to serve Christ wholeheartedly and with the utmost of their strength, their forces were which Christ himself gave it ON He lived with Him, for Him, for Him was a union of Love where Paul was willing to die for Christ who saved from hell. That already says our context for the better depart and be with Christ, but because of his service here should be.

2-PAUL GET TO KNOW MUCH TO CHRIST:
He sought to know Christ and go looking like more and more to Him and was blessed in this. He even caught up to the third heaven and heard unspeakable words. 2 Corinthians 12:1-6. There he learned great mysteries of Christ, His work on the cross, the foundation of his church and plans and teachings of Christ. Used by God to write a few letters of the New Testament and reveal the mysteries of God who had hidden in a century to century, that today we have by the grace of God revealed. He who says that Christ is your life, this wants to learn from Christ more than anything. -
Paul knew the importance of learning from Christ in the Bible and every Christian this is important, He prayed for Christians of Churches comprendiesen Christ and what we have in Him Ephesians 1:18-23. Colossians 2:3 "In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" To what extent Paul knew Christ while in prison after being whipped on with Barnabas sang, This is tremendous, with all the danger and pain and bad was happening, the prisoner in the dungeon was singing more Is not that practical knowledge of Christ? For his knowledge was not simply intellectual, like many humans, but was a full knowledge that influenced within and throughout their lives. Thus was singing in jail in that situation.

Christ occupied all his life and looked at facts on the ground. Christ was his knowledge, Let that be our own brothers.

3-PAUL THE TOTAL CONFIDENCE:
2 Corinthians 1: 9. "But we had in ourselves death sentence, THAT NO trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead.
Philippians 3:9. And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, BUT THAT'S THE FAITH OF CHRIST, the righteousness which is of God by faith.
 As in Galatians 2:20 or Romans 6:6 in practical life lived fully identified with Christ crucified, wise in Practice living your life with the risen Christ because the old Paul stayed on the Cross died with Christ. Living this truth in practice completely transforms your life, your life will be a heavenly life with Christ, in the power of Christ and the kingdom of Christ. If you live by faith in the redemptive plan and the justifier of Christ will never be the same person in real life will be a new creation in this world and certainly lived Paul. Is there such identification with Christ in His death on us? There is the faith of Christ in our lives? Are we living a heavenly life with the risen Christ?

Four-SERVICE TO CHRIST:
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? Acts 9:6
A tireless service to Christ after his conversion, a total dedication to the cause of Christ which was their cause too. From the moment of his conversion remained in the service of Christ and for the rest of his life searching for the salvation of souls and the founding of churches everywhere. When we are in Christ and He is our life we ​​are dedicated to their service, their goals, their projects in the world and do the work of Christ.
We see in the Book of Acts the three trips Missionaries Paul and we know of the tool in the hands of God that was Him His life and his heart was the advancement of the kingdom of Christ in this world and that happens to us when we live in Christ, the mind of Christ to save mankind becomes ours, the mind of Christ regarding His Church becomes ours. ? There is that feeling in us, we are identified with the work of Christ? God wants to be like brothers. Are we doing something or supporting the advancement of the Kingdom of God on earth?

5-LOOKING IN PERSPECTIVE PAUL CHRISTIAN LIFE TO HIS DEATH:
"For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure nearby.'ve Fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith .... 2 Timothy 4:6-7.
Christ lived in, in Paul, his whole life and now happen to live in heaven with Christ which is far better. If we could look at Paul's life from the outside would see Christ living in him, as they told him, Christ was his life.

Looking to speak of Paul, Christ was his theme and development, as well as looking at their service plans thoughts and love. His physical life was devoted entirely to the great master of Galilee, Christ is what dominated his life. It is seen from the perspective of faith throughout his life as we saw in Philippians 3:9, He knew that he must live by faith in Christ and Him crucified for an eternity day that his life is brought glory to Christ. It was his life according to their health or money or convenience but in terms of the interests of Christ on earth happens to us Are we the same? Are our lives in terms of money fame, pleasure or comfort is a function of Christ and its interests on Earth?
Christ was his joy and his happiness and purpose the glorifying of love, was his ambition as others have for fame pleasure. Christ was the image which he wanted to mold every day but Will is ours? imitate Christ was his pleasure of life. / It's hard to see another like Paul to live with and manage a perfect faith in the blood of Christ, or reliance on the Cross, This is what made his life what was her life. As many would say the spiritual secret of Paul, that really is not secret is public. -
FINDINGS: God grant that we may also say "To live is Christ to me," May we live in Christ for His glory and that no idol of this world take this place that is of Christ, and that is our pleasure throughout our life as it was in this Apostle of the Lord.
