Fight the Right Fight

By: excerpt from Dr Eliezer Gonzalez

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called (1 Tim 6:12.

We find ourselves fighting one fight after another in the world we have to live in now. We fight to keep the food on the table, we fight to keep our job, we fight spiritual battles. We get lost in all these fights without taking on the real fight. We often have the wrong idea about what the fight of faith is all about. Some people think that it’s the fight to share your faith in a hostile culture. Sometimes we think that it’s the fight to always have perfect faith in every situation. Often we think that it’s the fight to overcome sin by sinning less and being holier. But that’s not what the fight of faith is all about at all. 1 Tim 6:12 teaches clearly that the good fight of faith is the fight to take hold of the eternal life to which you were called. There are a million voices in your head that tell you that you are unworthy, that your performance defines your destiny, that your sin is too great, that eternal life is not yours. Your fight is to maintain your faith that what God says is true, to simply keep hold of the eternal life that God has already given you.

But notice that the Bible calls it “the good fight of faith.” It’s a good fight because everyone wins who trusts in Jesus.
