The dictionary defines “veteran” as: “A person who has had long service or experience in an occupation, office, or the like; a person who has served in a military force, esp. one who has fought in a war; experienced through long service or practice; having served for a long period: a veteran member of congress.”This term gives us the image of a person who possesses longevity, endurance and perseverance — certainly not a novice.
The apostle Paul wrote that it is proper for sound doctrine: “That the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience” (Titus 2:2).
As followers of Christ, Paul’s description should fit each one of us.
