“To Me to Live Is Christ”

 (ID: 1206)

It’s easy to fall into the trap of overcomplicating what it means to be a Christian. In this message, Alistair Begg shares the apostle Paul’s six-word distillation of the essence of the Christian life from his letter to the church at Philippi. Beautiful in its simplicity, this short phrase serves to remind us of the work Christ has done to make intimate, lifelong relationship with Him possible.


21For to me mto live is Christ, and to die is gain.
