Christ Follower – Soldier
May 16, 2024
How does a Christ follower live? What should our life look like? Paul describes this in his challenge to Timothy. II Timothy 2 He uses three examples: a soldier, an athlete, and a hard-working farmer. A soldier cares about nothing but obeying orders. His clothes and food are issued. He’s not entangled in that. He goes where he’s sent, stays till called back. He follows orders. Tasks may not be easy. If he’s not equipped well, he and all will suffer.
We are God’s soldiers. We depend on Him for everything.
We are told to put on Spiritual armor, Ephesians 6: 11:13 Put it on, stand firm. His righteousness, faith, truth, His gospel, salvation and His word. Put on the whole armor. Missing piece of equipment? We and others are vulnerable.
