We are fellow soldiers. Some of these fellow fighters are closer than others. However, we are all in the same army and fighting the same battle. We have the example of Epaphroditus to learn from. Let us fight alongside of each other and work together for the cause of Christ. (Phil. 2:25)

Jesus is the captain of this army. We must react and submit to Him as such. It is an amazing blessing to fight this spiritual battle with a perfect previous victor of it as our leader. (Heb. 2:10)

 By following the plan of faith, repentance, confession, and baptism we become soldiers. (Heb. 11:6; Lk. 13:3; Acts 22:16)

We are not mandated to enlist. There is not a draft that we must sign up for. We volunteer to be soldiers the moment we obey the gospel.   (Matt. 11:28; Rev. 22:17)

Some have been overtaken either by being in sin or by the enemy. Some are weak as a soldier. Therefore, we need to recognize this and treat them accordingly. ( Rm. 7:22-25)

Sin is not the man but the spiritual weakness that is present in him. When one sins against us or in general he has lost that battle. We need to make sure we keep that in mind.  (Jam. 1:14-15)

We are at war with spiritual host of wickedness in heavenly places. We are warring against evil spiritual principalities. We are warring against power and rulers of the darkness of this age. Be sure to not make the mistake of warring against flesh and blood.    ( Eph. 6:12)
