Cherished Liberty

Freedom Through Military Victory

Can a believer in Jesus Christ serve his country as a soldier, kill the enemy, and

 at the same time be a good Christian? Can a believer justify being a conscientious

 objector? Did God contradict Himself in the commandments, "You shall not murder"

and "You  shall defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them"? The Bible answers

  these critical questions. God established a principle by which a nation may guard

 its sovereignty, maintain its freedom, and protect its citizenry from the horrors of

 conquest by a foreign power. An alert and

  stalwart military force averts armed conflict and deters wanton aggression. Yet when

an enemy aggressor will not be deterred, the military must defend and protect those

who cannot defend themselves. those in military service who place a higher value on

their families, friends, and nation then on their own lives ensure the survival of our

cherished liberty. Just as the Lord Jesus Christ made the greatest sacrifice of all history

on the cross-- dying so that mankind might have eternal life---so the military warriors

sacrifice their time, their fortunes, and sometimes their lives that others might live in

freedom.
