“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. Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.” – Philippians 1:23-26 NIV
Sacrifices are a necessity in the Christian walk. Paul wants to be with Christ but continues to live on in this life for the sake of everyone else. We need to live selfless lives for others. Also be aware that this passage is directly against suicide. All of these concert are very important concepts.
