only as a child of god redeemed by the precious blood of christ 1 pet 1 18 19 but he is called to do valiant soldier service contending earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints jude 3 this figure is frequently used in the epistles note especially 2 crinthians 10 35 ephesians 61018 1 thessalonians 58 as well as our present lesson the christian life is a constant warfare we have three subtle and cruel enemies ever arrayed against us the world the flesh and the devil and against all of these we are called to make a resolute stand we do not fight in our own strength but as we are empowered by him whose soldiers we are in this second letter to timothy written- from a dungeon death cell we find the old warrior paul with zeal unquenched urging upon the younger preacher timothy that he persist relentlessly in the battle for righteousness against all the hosts of evil herhimself maintains this soldier character to the last as he realized that his fighting days were nearly ended and that soon he should give account of his part in this warfare when he would stand at the judgement seat of christ to receive the crown of righteousness the divine recognition of faithful service as she looked on to the ap pearing of his great general who had fought and overcome on his behalf so long before the figure of the soldier suggests obedience to orders rigid- discip line holding the body in subjection and valor in defense of the truth these things should characterize all christs servants verse by verse 2 tim 2 1 my son be strong in thegrace that is in christ jesus paul adressed timothy as his son because he had led him to definite faith in christ 1 tim 1 2 he exhorts him to maintain with en ergy the testimony committed to him not swerving from the doc trines of grace verse 2 the things that thou hast heard of me commit thou to faithful men who shall be able to teach others also paul had in structed timothy as to the great historic facts of christianity and the doctrines based upon them these had been attested by many witnesses it became the responsi bility of the younger preacher to make these things known to others that thee truth might be spread far and wide this is the true apostolic succession as distinguished from a sacerdotal system such as rome and some others advocate verse 3 endure hardness as a good soldier of jesus christ the path of devotion to christ is not an easy way it calls for steadfast en durance and abiding faith these are soldier qualities that every christian needs in order that he may overcome in the warfare with iniquity verse 4 no man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life how often this has been demonstrated in the present world conflict when he becornes a soldier a man has to give up all other employment that he may serve without distracuon beneath the flag of his country so it is with the christian his one object should now be to please the lord- who has called him to this selfdenying service verse 8 remember jesus christ it is really a battle cry as of late we often hear the slogan remember bataan the word that is omitted from the rv when pressed by the foe even to the point where one despairs of life let us remember him who could not be overcome of deathbut arose in triumph from the grave it is he who beckons us on to ultimate vic tory his promises never fail of-ful- fillment verse 9 i suffer even tunto bonds but the word of god is not bound shut up in prison it might appear as though the apostle iwere defeated but the word hehadpra claimed was bearing fruit still ithat word could not be fettered or de stroyed verse 10 i endure all things for the elects sakes the elect of god are those who have trusted his son as set forth in the gospel the sufferings paul endured were on their behalf that the faith of christ might abide with them gal25 sake pitching f help hay will be icady to cut within the next week or two it is an abundant crop one
