“Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses.”
1 Timothy 6:12 NLT
We involve ourselves in many battles that are not our own. We can be misled by thoughts and desires that are worldly, but not of God. The good fight is for truth, God’s truth, and eternal life, which is the ultimate.
In this chapter Paul the apostle talks to his son in the faith Timothy. He admonishes him to pursue godliness and warns against lusts of the flesh. He warns of false teachers and the love of money. He tells Timothy to teach those who are rich to not put their hope in their money but to be generous with it.
The battle for the faith is real. We are bombarded with fleshly ways and desires constantly, and have to guard our hearts. Laziness and ease are a constant enemy as are deception and lusts. We must feed our spirits good, godly, spiritual food. Amen!
