I've been thinking a lot these past few weeks about my responsibilities as a child of God. I know we all like to think about the blessings of belonging to Jesus Christ, of which there are many. We like to hear about God's love, His mercy, forgiveness, provision, and eternal riches. And those things are all ours, after we put our trust in Jesus Christ to be our sin-bearer. But there's more to this business of living than just sitting around being a child of the King. The Apostle Paul, in 2 Timothy 2, calls us to live life like a soldier of Jesus Christ. Now, I don't know about you, but I don't know much about being a soldier. I've never been to boot-camp, and never experienced the grueling discipline required to become a soldier who is ready to win any type of battle. I don't always treat my body like the temple of God that it is. I don't always make the choice to do what pleases the Lord at the expense of my own ease and comfort.
