Worth Dying For

{Philippians 3:7-11}7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

There are so many things in this world that distract us from the Lord. Oh how I long for that day that I see my Jesus face to face! There is so much work to be done here on this earth. Like the Apostle Paul, I am often torn between wanting to be with Christ and being here on this earth where the body of Christ--His bride is. 

{Philippians 1:21-23}21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.

Really there are so many Scriptures that I'd like to be my theme life verses, but I really think Philippians 3:7-11 is going to be my main life's theme passage. I want my first & utmost goal to be knowing Christ more and making Him known. Nothing compares to Him. Nothing can satisfy my heart like Christ can. Jesus Christ is not only worth living for, but He's also worth dying for.
