To Die is Gain
           Philippians 1:21-23
21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die
 is gain. 22 But if I live on in the flesh,
 this will mean fruit from my labor; yet
 what I shall choose I cannot tell. 23
 For I am hard pressed between the
 two, having a desire to depart and be
 with Christ, which is far better.
Death is Scary

Death Frees Us From:

    Sin             Sin is missing the mark
                    Romans 3:23 for all
                     have sinned and fall
                     short of the glory of
                     God,
                    Sin is crossing the line
                    1 John 3:4 Whosoever
                      committeth sin
                      transgresseth also the
                      law: for sin is the

    Sin             Sin is missing the mark
                    Sin is crossing the line
                    When death comes –
                     sin stops!
                    Romans 7:1 Or do you
                     not know, brethren
                     (for I speak to those
                     who know the law),
                     that the law has
                     dominion over a man
                     as long as he lives?
Death Frees Us From:

Sin             Is it real? Is it all worth
                  it?

  Doubt         John doubted in prison
                Have we “wasted” our
                 faith on a myth?
                When death comes –
                 What if there is
                 nothing else?
                All doubts end at death.
Death Frees Us From:

Sin             We are tempted –
                 enticed to sin
Doubt             By Satan

  Temptations     By situations
                  By people
                  By greed
                  By selfishness
                At death all temptation
                  to sin will end.
Death Frees Us From:

Sin             3 Kinds of Enemies:
                  People we don't like
Doubt             People who don't like us
Temptations       People who mis-
                   understand each other

  Enemies       Matthew 5:44a But I
                 say to you, love your
                 enemies
Death Frees Us From:

Sin             Romans 12:18 If it is
                 possible, as much as
Doubt            depends on you, live
                 peaceably with all
Temptations      men.

  Enemies       Enemies are a normal
                 part of life in a sinful
                 world
                Death will separate us
                 from our enemies
Death Frees Us From:

Sin             We are tested – tried –
                 challenged by our
Doubt            sufferings
                  Inter-personal
Temptations
                  Economic
Enemies           Natural disasters

  Sufferings      World events
                Life is not easy
Death Frees Us From:
                1 Corinthians 10:13 No
Sin               temptation has overtaken
                  you except such as is
Doubt             common to man; but God is
                  faithful, who will not allow
Temptations       you to be tempted beyond
                  what you are able, but with
Enemies           the temptation will also
                  make the way of escape,

  Sufferings      that you may be able to
                  bear it.
                Death ends our suffering.
Death Frees Us From:

Sin               The last enemy has
                   been conquered
Doubt             1 Corinthians 15:26
Temptations         The last enemy that
                    will be destroyed is
Enemies             death.
Sufferings        There is nothing left to
                   fear, dread or

  Fear of Death    overcome.
To Die is Gain
Sin                 Doubt
Temptations            Enemies
Sufferings          Fear of Death
AND THERE IS MORE TO THINK ABOUT
