"Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith: who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:1-2)
As the King's soldiers, we have God-given abilities and possessions, most notably the indwelling God's Spirit and empowering gifts. "If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his". "Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit". We should "fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul" and focus on Him, "denying ungodliness and worldly lusts" (even goods and kindred if need be. "We should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ"
A man attempting to daily die to himself and become the true servant of the Lord and not his flesh.
