SOLDIER.See Army, Legion, War.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
Christians are often likened to soldiers who have to clothe themselves with armour to fight against the evil forces of Satan (2Co_10:3-4; Eph_6:10-18; see ARMOUR; WEAPONS). They have to endure hardship and opposition, concentrating on the task God has given them, without losing heart (1Ti_1:18; 2Ti_2:3-4).
Israels Old Testament history is full of stories of the heroic deeds of its soldiers. Not all these heroes were godly, though some were great servants of God whose faith on occasions saved Israel (Heb_11:32). (For methods of warfare see WAR.)
The soldiers mentioned in the New Testament are usually Romans. The Roman centurions, who feature in a number of New Testament stories, appear to have been men of quality. Some of them became Christians (Mat_8:5-13; Mat_27:54; Act_10:1-2; Act_23:17-18; Act_27:43).

2Ti_2:3 (a) The child of GOD is thus described by the Holy Spirit. He is not his own. His time belongs to his Master, so does his body. He goes where he is told, he eats what is given, he wears what is supplied. He has no will of his own, but is an implicit servant of the military forces. He studies the ways of the enemy, he finds means of defense from the enemy, and of offense toward the enemy. This should be true of every believer.
