This Evening Worship sermon continues the semi-monthly series titled, “The Christian Life in Picture.” This will develop the major New Testament metaphors that depict the Christian's identity. This sermon explores the Christian's place as a soldier in the Family of God. The picture of a soldier is one used with great emphasis by Paul. It is a call for the Christian to bring his life into the duty and endurance required of a soldier engaged in the dangerous activity of warfare. A soldier must be hardened to the daunting difficulties of the battlefield. He must be loyal to his Commander in Chief. Absolute, instant obedience to his Commander is required in the face of the enemy who seeks to exploit every breech of military discipline. The armor prescribed in Scripture must be worn and mastered, including the Word, as the Sword of the Spirit. A person who has been redeemed by Jesus from the power and consequences of sin is commanded to military discipline. May this imagery speak to us of the matchless love that God grants the Christian through his grace.
