Recently, as a Nation we lost the lives of 13 honorable and noble United States Marines. People who took an oath to this Country to defend and protect the Constitution, and the people of America. United States Marines that were not even given the honor of having their names read into record in the United States House of Representatives. United States Marines, who were willing to give all—and did.
Their commanding officers and those that love this Nation, will forever remember them as GOOD SOLDIERS.
I am reminded of those in the Christ's Army who have died on the battlefields of faith and of the legacy they left behind. I am referring to people like those mentioned in Hebrews 11. Great men and women of God who were good soldiers of the cross and who died on the battlefield to preserve our precious faith.
As we think of these people who have sacrificed so much for us, I want to remind you of a very awesome truth.
One day, our lives will all be over! One day every person in this room will be just a memory to those living on this planet.
When it comes time for you to leave this world, what kind of legacy will you leave behind?
When people remember the kind of person you were, will they remember you as a soldier of the cross?
The time to think about these things is now. After you are gone, it will be forever too late!
As Paul neared the end of his life, he languished in a Roman prison. But, from that cell, the great Apostle took steps to ensure that he would be remembered as a good solider of the cross.
He took the time to write to young Timothy and give him the secret for becoming a good soldier.
It is that thought that I would like to consider this morning as we think together about the Five Qualities Of A Good Soldier.
