From 2 Timothy 2:3-4: “Share in suffering like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving in the army gets entangled in everyday affairs; the soldier’s aim is to please the enlisting officer.”
Born as blessed children of God
Learning the Bible’s sacred truth
Strong in grace of Savior Jesus
Worthy soldier matures from youth
Listening to God’s witnesses
Faithful, Godly people speaking
Maturing in Father’s Spirit
Daily blessings from Christ’s teachings
Humbly serving in God’s army
Following footsteps, walked by Christ
Bolstered by our own suffering
Clutching faith, never underpriced
Our Father’s way, rich truth to say
Bringing total understanding
His Holy Word comes without chains
Gospel, forever commanding
From 2 Timothy 2:11-13: “The saying is sure: If we have died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us; if we are faithless, He remains faithful—for He cannot deny Himself.”
The battle is real and one that we must be prepared for each day. As soldiers of the cross, we can be sure that our leadership is perfect.
