Army of the Lord

2 Timothy 2:3-4 "Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 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."

Just like a person who enlists in the military, when you become a Christian, your life changes and your loyalty changes. You have new responsibilities and a new focus. Since Jesus died for you, you serve him like you would a commander, but he's no drill sergeant. Jesus says we can rest in him because he's already taken care of everything. All we have to do is spread the word!
