God's love for the Military

 God loves the military.

In His Word, the Bible, we see how true this is. There are stories in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, showing His love for military personnel.

I would like to share with you one story. Read Matthew 8: 5-13.

We see here that Jesus was talking to a Roman Centurion who had a servant who was paralyzed.

Some points about this event that shows Gods love for the military.

1) Jesus is talking to a Roman Centurion,an enemy of Israel and a gentile.

2) Jesus did not walk away from him, nor did He tell him he would not help him.

3) Jesus listen to his request, and was willing to go with the centurion to heal his servant.

4) When the Centurion told Jesus he didn't want Him to come to his house, Jesus listened to his reason.

5) Look at verse 10, Jesus' reply. Was Jesus upset for being told "do not come to my house"?  NO, Jesus said, "I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith".

6) Jesus commended him for his Faith, and his servant was healed as the Centurion believed.

This is only one event in the scriptures showing Gods love for military personnel. Next month, I will show you another.

If anyone says God hates the military, they do not know the bible.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

You can change the world for military personnel.

Jesus did not die just for civilians. He gave His life for ALL people. As it is written in Romans 3:23,  "ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God."

Have a Blessed Day !
