SOLDIER

Faithful followers of Christ (2Tim2:1-6) are likened to a soldier, a farmer, and an athlete. The soldier is described using the lesson of the journey from Egypt through the wilderness to Canaan (1Cor10:1-13). The major themes of the first five books of the Bible (the Pentateuch) teach the same five roots and fruits life skills from Matt 5-7. They describe our purpose, plan, preparation, practice and progress are common to both our work and our worship.
