Dying to the Glory of God

If our death is to be for God’s glory, it must be preceded by a life of following Christ. The goal, and hope of the Christian is Philippians 1:20-21 – my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
