Fight the Good Fight

“But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”

1 Timothy 6:11-12 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

Paul tells Timothy to flee the wrong things and follow the right ones: righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Then he says to fight the good fight of faith. Faith is not passive. It takes active, intentional effort. But the fight is good. It is the right fight. And it is worth every ounce of energy.
