The Good Fight: Reflections on Faith and Perseverance in Timothy

What did you say? You struggling too? Flesh against the spirit goes to a contrary. Thank the Lord Jesus Christ for allowing me to be amongst the land of the living one more time. In the book of 1st Timothy, chapter 6, verse 12, Paul speaking, and he says, fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold on eternal life. Whereunto thou art also called, and has professed a good profession before many witnesses. Return to 2nd Timothy. This is still Paul speaking. And now he says, I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. So I’m not sure how long between these two writings, first Timothy and second Timothy. But here I see that he was telling us to fight. Of course we had to go through something, struggle with something. God had to purify us and burn stuff off of us. And sometimes we have so many things that if he tried to burn it all off us at one time, it’ll kill us. So take the process to righteous falling and get up.
