I have heard many times what the Apostle Paul said that to die is gain. It has been declared correctly that there are no tears in heaven and we will have no sin at all. This being said, a more accurate reason that to die is gain is that we will see Jesus Christ, face to face, as He is, and we will not die from being in His holiness. We will behold the glory of the Only Begotten Son of God, full of grace and truth. This is what we look forward to - seeing Him! For sure there will be no more tears and sin, but to see my Lord and Savior is truly the greatest gain.
To live - is Christ - we live to preach the gospel, in season and out of season. My brother Earl is such an example of this. He wants to become healthy so that he can go with his men to Iraq in order to minister the gospel to them. His heart has never wavered from his calling to preach the gospel. This should be our purpose also. The Word of God never returns void - although many reject it.
Yes, to die is gain, and to live ~ Christ.
