基督徒的生死观(Phil 1:21-30)
Christian’s Perspective on Life and Death (Phil 1:21-30)

一. 从圣经来看基督徒的死
Think about the death of Christians in the light of Bible

1. 地上的帐棚拆毁了（林后 5：1）
   Our earthly house (the tent) is destroyed



2. 在耶稣里睡了帖前 4：14）
   Sleeping in Jesus



3. 离开身体与主同在（林后 5：8）
   Absent from the body to be present with the Lord
   

二. 保罗的格言－因我活着就是基督，死了就有益处（Phil 1：21）
Paul’s motto---For to me, to live is Christ, to die is gain

1. 活着就是基督―活出基督在地上时的生命
   To live is Christ--- to live out the life of Christ as He lived on this earth



2. 死了就有益处－完全得着神在永恒里为我们预备的福份
   To die is gain--- to receive the eternal blessings of God after this life is over



3. 保罗处在两难之间，不知如何选择生或死
   Knowing not which to choose, Paul was hard-pressed between life or death
   

三. 我们今天的责任－生活行为与所信的福音相称
Our responsibilities---let our conduct be worthy of the gospel

1. 基督的福音是基督徒行为的一个新的，更高的标准
   The gospel is a new and higher standard of conduct for Christians



2. 为福音齐心努力，必须同心合意
   In order to strive together for the gospel, we must unite in one spirit and one soul
