Fight the good fight of faith to lay hold on Eternal Life:
None or few of us who are healthy, thanks to God in
the name of Jesus, and going about our daily lives think about “fighting for
our lives.” Mostly, we are concerned about just being able to make a living in
this world. Notwithstanding this fact, we should all be very concerned about “fighting
for our lives”.
The question that may be asked is, “If we are
healthy, why should we be concerned with ‘fighting for our life?’” The answer
is simple; the Apostle Paul said: “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with
Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3).
Paul also reminded us, said: “For we wrestle
not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness
in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of
God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to
stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about
with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod
with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked”
(Ephesians 6:12-16).
Every day we are alive we must endure, and remind
ourselves to do as the Apostle Paul said: “Fight the good fight of faith, lay
hold on eternal life” (1 Timothy 6:12).
