Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Revelation 12:11 KJV
And
they overcame him by The Blood Of The Lamb, and by the word of their
testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
God's soldiers, also have responsibilities!
The
Christian Soldier And His Responsibilities:
God's soldier, must fight.
There is “no,” place for service dodgers, or awol combatants:
I
Timothy 6:12 KJV
Fight
the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art
also called, and hast professed a good profession before many
witnesses.
Hebrews
12:4 KJV
Ye
have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
II Timothy 4:6,7 KJV (Apostle Paul)
6
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at
hand.
7
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept
the faith:
God's soldier must obey his Captain:
Luke
7:8,9 KJV
8
For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers,
and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he
cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
9
When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned Him
about, and said unto the people that followed Him, I say unto you, I
have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Acts
27:23 KJV
For
there stood by me this night The Angel Of God, whose I am, and whom I
serve,
God's soldier must be
properly equipped for fighting:
Ephesians 6:10-18 KJV (Seven Articles Of Spiritual Armor)
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in The Lord, and in
the power of His might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be
able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God,
that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done
all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with
Truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the
gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the
wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and
the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Psalm
18:34,35 KJV
34
He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine
arms.
35
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right
hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
God's soldier must not have
divided loyalties, for that is disloyalty:
II
Timothy 2:4 KJV
No
man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life;
that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
Matthew
6:24 NLT
No
one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other;
you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve
God and be enslaved to money.
God's faithful soldier will
be rewarded:
Matthew
10:22 KJV
And
ye shall be hated of all men for My name's sake: but he that endureth
to the end shall be saved.
Romans
8:36,37 KJV
36
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are
accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that
loved us.
II
Timothy 4:8 KJV
Henceforth
there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which The Lord, The
Righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but
unto all them also that love His appearing.
I
Peter 5:4 KJV
And
when The Chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of
glory that fadeth not away.
Onward
Christian Soldiers
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!
Chorus:
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.
Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
But the church of Jesus constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never ’gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise, and that cannot fail.
Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King,
This through countless ages men and angels sing.
