About being a soldier of Christ…

2 Tim. 2:3 Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. (NIV)
No one wants to be left out in the world without resources or help when help is needed. No one wants to suffer. However, in this life and in this reality, to spend eternity with God requires we make sacrifices in the present time. Good soldiers in training and on the battlefield learn to make sacrifices. Good soldiers do not follow their own whims, wants, and needs. Good soldiers follow the commands of their commanding officer or leader. Soldiers learn early on there will be hardships in military life. Each of us must learn and expect there to be hardships in our life for Christ. We must learn there will be hardships, suffering, and trials for each of us before we enter the gates of Heaven. Our life is a battle between what God wants for us and what Satan wants for us. Satan’s most potent weapon against us is suffering. Our life is a war between the spiritual powers and we are the soldiers. We must decide whether we are soldiers for Christ or soldiers for Satan. In this war there are no spectators. Everyone is on one side of the battle or the other. When you line up on God’s side of the battle, Satan will come after you. Make no mistake about this. Learn the rules of engagement now and prepare yourself for the battle ahead. In this battle there must never be, on your part as Christ’s soldier, no whining, no complaining, no protesting, and no slacking off. You will need to fight against evil and darkness in your life and in the lives of others by using God’s force of love, compassion, forgiveness, repentance, and unrelenting zeal to achieve His mission on earth. Carry on.
