As a good soldier of Jesus Christ

If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. All things are passed away, and all things have become new", Paul the apostle of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was in times past, before his conversion, a sinner,"of whom I am chief". But when the mercy of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, not all are saved. Because "men love darkness rather than light", their deeds being evil, condemns them. The apostle Paul declares the preaching of the cross is foolishness to the Jew first, and also to the Gentiles. Jesus teaches His disciples through the Holy Ghost to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts. To live soberly and righteously in this present world. This cannot be obtained except one be truly born again by the Spirit of God. To enter into the kingdom of God by any other way is presumption. Self wills the flesh. "The good that I would, I do not; the evil that I would not, that I do" This is not the word of testimony of one who is crucified with Christ. Nevertheless they live by the faith of God 
"Not loving their lives unto death". We die daily, "that henceforth we should not serve sin". As a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
