You are God's soldier
"Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus."
2nd Timothy 2:3
We are all soldiers of God. All of us. Even though some people do bad, they are still a solider. That's how forgiving God is.
But just because you are still a solider no matter what, does not mean you can do wrong.
God does not like when people do wrong. But he still forgives us.
Have you ever heard of the saying, "Treat others hoe you would like to be treated." That's excatly what God wants you too do.
When you do wrong, that will give the Devil a chance make you do more worng and more wrong and more.
You are a soldier and you always will be.

knowing God by: Not Worrying
Humble yourselves, therefore,
under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt
you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

Knowing God by: Serving Him
'What will you gain if you own the whole world, and destroy yourself?"
Mark 8:36
What does being successful mean? To some it means having expensive stuff, or clothing, or being skinny.
To others it means having fame and a great career. It takes a lot of energy to achieve that.
It's OK to be successful, but be careful not to lose your relationship with God. You may have all the money, fame and great stuff, but if you don't know God, you have nothing.
Know why? Because eventually, everyone dies. Everyone.
Eternity is ahead and if you don't know God, you will spend that eternity in Hell... Not fun.

Knowing God by: Being Like Christ
"If you want good fruit you must make the tree good, if your tree is not good, it will make bad fruit. A tree is known by the fruit it produces."
Matthew 12:33
Apple picking is fun. Running up and down the aisles of the orchard, picking nice and health apples. You especially like the ones with bird bites and worms oozing out of them, right? Yeah not so much. You want the one with no bird bites,or worms. You want a healthy apple.
And a healthy apple comes from a healthy tree.
Same goes for Christ- Followers, see, you can say "Christian" quotes, or verses, but the way you may treat others may not be the same as the words you're saying.
That's the bad fruit in this verse.
How do you learn to be like Christ? Get to know Him.
You can get to know Him by reading His word and about His life. If you're learning about God, you are learning how you should live your life.

Knowing God by: Fighting Fear
"For God has not given us the power of fear and timidity, but of power, of love and of self discipline."
2 Timothy 1:7
Fear is a spirit. Fear uses your phobias, or your fear.
Fear is your weakness. But, you cannot run away from fear. You must run toward it. Like I said, fear is a spirit, therefor, it can talk. It will out talk you and you will run from it. You can't go up to your fear and say, " I'm too scared, nah I'm not gonna do it." No you have to say, " I am with the Lord my God, I shall not be afraid, I will face my fear, I will walk into my fear."
You must out talk the fear.
You can't let the fear overcome you.
You can't be afraid of a snake that's in your house. You have to go up to it and say, "I'm not afraid of you, this is my house, Go."
You can't be afraid of the dark. You have to walk into the dark and say. "Fear will not overcome me. I am not afraid of darkness."
Was David afraid of of Goliath? Goliath, a 10 feet tall giant?! No David was not afraid, he went up to him and took one sling and knocked him down.
Therefor, do not be afraid of fear. You are stronger that it and can and will overcome it.
