Everyone (including me, and including you) has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. {see Romans 3:23}
Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and He was buried, and He was raised from the grave on the third day according to the Scriptures.
He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred people at one time. He appeared to James, then to all the apostles. {see First Corinthians 15:3-7}
If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. With your heart you believe, resulting in righteousness, and with your mouth you confess, resulting in salvation. Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” {see Romans 10:9-11}
We are hunted by Satan. Up, soldier! STAND! This is not a drill. I will warn you as our Commander has instructed me. This is a live operation. Do not look away from His face as you carry out these orders.
MISSION: You will march alongside me in our battalion, boldly proclaiming Commander’s Word. Warn everyone about sin! Instruct every civilian about the hope in Jesus, our Leader! Spread wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of our Commander). FUTURE OBJECTIVE: present civilians and ourselves as mature, trained, full-grown, initiated, complete, and perfected through our Mighty Commander. {see Colossians 1:28}
Our rebellion (mine, yours) before and during this army enlistment warrant death. We will surrender our lives and die in this battle. {see Romans 3:23} Commander armed each of us with a Sword–a War Bible. Use it as unbreakable protection while treading darkness. The War Bible is armor. Know the Truth; meditate on it day and night. {see Joshua 1:8}
Be warned of our invisible enemies! Their head leader, Satan, roams the entire battlefield trying to destroy us and the civilians! {see Job 1:7} We must labor unto weariness! Strive with the superhuman energy which He mightily works within us! {see Colossians 1:29}
I read some war history of our Leader, Jesus. He once spent 40 days in the wilderness, being tempted by our enemy, Satan! Jesus said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’ ” Satan left; then angels came to minister to our Leader, Jesus. Even our enemy is subject to our Commander’s Word! {see Matthew 4:1-11}
Evil agents will try coercing you to stray. Fight! Fall neither left nor right. Resist duress–unlawful force, threats, and temptation to run. Accepting worldly ideas is hostile against our Commander and squad. Never wish you were worldly like those we are here to warn! Selfishness makes you an enemy of our Commander!
If you stumble, I will be first to your side. Our entire battalion will rise up in your defense. Further defiance warrants immediate correction: from me, our battalion, and our Leader. My orders are: hunt you down if you deflect. Our Leader reserves the right to punish any defiance by death. {see James 4:4}
Do not fear what you are about to suffer! The enemy will cast some of us aside as Prisoners of War. This is testing! Be faithful until death, and our Commander will hold our very souls in the end! Listen!! Eternal life is ours if we trust in our Master. {see Revelation 2:10-11}
