STRONG InCHRIST

“For to me, to live is Christ, to die is gain.”

Philippians 1:21 NIV

Hello, my name is Jimmy Peters, I live in Iowa. I am a reborn recently baptized Christian. My life until now has been a life pleasing to me. I would give my whole testimony but it would take awhile to type. I just found this site on facebook thanks to my little brother Jacob! But this verse when I read it seemed to shout at me! To live is Christ- A Christians main purpose! To spread the gospel, and make disciples of all nations UNDER GOD! Our soul purpose is to be ministers and teachers of the Gospel, to give people hope in Christ. To let people know the amazing gift of salvation is only a conversation away. They don’t realize where they are going. To die is gain- I don’t know about anyone else, but I can’t wait for the day Christ comes and takes us into his presence. To know that when we leave this place we will no longer have to deal with the pains of this life, but will be forever free of it all!

But its like Paul says:

“I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.” Philippians 1:23

All of us as Christians long to be with Jesus Christ, but it is better that we stay and finish the work God put us here to do. Now I am by no means an expert on biblical teaching, but I do long for the knowledge that only God can give, and hope and pray that God leads me in the direction of ministry and teaching.

Thank You and GOD Bless,

Jimmy Peters
