3. REWARD
If we Live, we have the Reward of Increase.

4. 2 Corinthians 8:1-5
Now I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters, what God in his kindness has done through the churches in Macedonia. They are being tested by many troubles, and they are very poor. But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity. For I can testify that they gave not only what they could afford, but far more. And they did it of their own free will. They begged us again and again for the privilege of sharing in the gift for the believers in Jerusalem. They even did more than we had hoped, for their first action was to give themselves to the Lord and to us, just as God wanted them to do.

5. REWARD
If we Die, we have the Reward of Deliverance.

6. Philippians 1:18-19
…I will continue to rejoice. For I know that as you pray for me and the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps me, this will lead to my deliverance.

“Keep silent and let me speak; then let come to me what may…. Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance!

9. Philippians 1:20
For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die.

10. PASSION
If we Die, we savor the Passion of Presence.

11. “I’m looking forward to death
“I’m looking forward to death. I’ll be very happy to get out of this body and into the new world that’s been prepared. It’ll be a feeling of tremendous joy and relief and rest. The Bible says I have not seen nor heard, nor has there entered the mind of man, what God has in store for us in the future life. Do I fear death? No. I look forward to death, with great anticipation. I am looking forward to seeing God face to face. And that could happen any day.” --Billy Graham

12. SECURITY
If we Live, we have the Security of Family.

13. Philippians 1:27
Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come and see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News.

14. SECURITY
When we Die, we have the Security of Home.

I’m torn between two desires: I long to depart and be with Christ, which would be far better for me.

16. Philippians 1:21
For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.
