Read:
I Timothy 6:12 “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
Think:
Joe Rogan is the announcer for the MMA fights and is known for his fighting spirit and determination, whether in the ring or in his pursuit of knowledge and excellence. He likes fighting!
As Christians, we are called to fight a different kind of fight – the good fight of faith.
In 1 Timothy 6:12, we read that we are to fight the good fight of the faith. This fight is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of darkness that seek to deceive and destroy us.
What is worth fighting for? The answer is simple: our faith. Our faith in Christ is the most valuable thing we possess, and it is worth fighting for with all our hearts. This means holding fast to our beliefs and persevering through trials and challenges. When we stand firm, continuing to be obedient in the face of opposition, we win the battle!
Apply:
Take ground for Jesus today by being bold and inviting someone to church.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, we thank you for the gift of faith and the opportunity to fight the good fight. Help us to remember that our faith is the most valuable thing we possess, and that it is worth fighting for. Give us the strength to stand firm in the face of opposition, to hold fast to our beliefs, and to persevere through trials and challenges. In Jesus' name, Amen.
