The Heart of Christianity w . 21-27o Verse 21 sets forth the finest philosophy in the world. The ideal life is that which is completely given over to Christ. Such a life will come to the end of the road to receive great “ gain” .’ The Apostle could not make a choice as to which would be better for him to live on in this life or to depart to be with Christ (v. 23). Yet he felt that for the sake of many believers (the Philippians included), he needed to remain in the flesh for a time. He hoped to visit the Philippians again.
