Paul's letter to Timothy uses military imagery to remind Christian men they were created for spiritual battle, with suffering being an expected part of discipleship under God's sovereignty.

• Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 2:3-4)
• Soldiers don't fight alone but operate as part of a unified force
• Christians are called to loyalty, selflessness, preparedness, and courage
• Avoid entanglement in civilian pursuits that distract from our primary mission
• Our aim should be pleasing our commanding officer, Jesus Christ
• Being a soldier for Christ supersedes any worldly profession or career status
• We were born for the battle of advancing Christ's kingdom
