When the Lord Jesus Christ calls you to follow Him, that call is an enlistment is His army. We are called to be soldiers of the cross. Look in II Timothy 2:3-4:
“You must therefore endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please Him who enlisted him as a soldier.”
If you are a true believer, you are a soldier! Our Commander in Chief is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. Soldiers are given orders, assignments and are expected to follow, to obey, to complete the assignment. In our Wednesday night Bible Study from Psalm 100 we studied the various orders given to us by the Lord.
Psalm 100 says we are to:
MAKE a joyful shout to the LORD
SERVE the Lord with gladness
COME before His presence with singing
KNOW that the LORD is God
ENTER His gates with thanksgiving
BE THANKFUL unto Him and
BLESS His name
Action verbs! Commands! And good soldiers obey!
Why! Because He is good!
And His truth endures forever!
What kind of soldier are you?
