1 Timothy 6:11 Fight the good fight of
the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about
which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
This is not an obscure
verse in the bible that no one has ever heard before; nope, this is a
relatively well-known one. That being the case I often wonder why we are
surprised that living the life of a believer is hard sometimes. Clearly, Paul
is telling us that we are going to have to fight. The word fight automatically
brings to mind other words like…strife, opponents, hardship, pain, and any
number of words I could list. All of them however have one thing in common
though; work, we have to work at and fight for our life in the faith. It will
be a battle, and the truly amazing thing about belonging to God is that even in
the midst of that battle, that “fight” we can have peace
