"It’s Never Over"

Noticing parallels between SEALs and Christians

(pt.6)

 
     The U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. code contains: “We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me―my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete.”

    Hebrews 12 says, “Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith.”  We are not alone. We have a team of seen and unseen saints.  And, our mission depends on you and all the gifts and creativity God has given you.

    Eph 2:8 in the Greek says that by grace we are being saved through faith as God’s gift.  It is NOT a one-time event as some translations can imply. Our training, our deliverance, our ever-growing relationship with Father is never complete.  Let’s help each other so no one is left behind. It's never over!
