Scripture:

The True Fight

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

My Takeaways

Something Old

How can a fight be good?

  • “This may be called a "good fight", because it is in a good cause, the cause of God and truth; and under a good Captain, Jesus Christ the Captain of our salvation; for which good weapons are provided, even the whole armor of God, and which are not carnal, but spiritual and mighty; to which may be added, that those who are engaged in this fight may be sure of victory, and the crown of glory, life, and righteousness.” -  John Gill

We have salvation, a free gift we did not have to fight for, however, we will have to fight our way all the way to Heaven. Notice I said fight to Heaven, not for Heaven/salvation.

Unlike popular opinion, our fight is not with our co-worker, spouse, friends, non-friends, children, our boss, the government officials, the social media influencer, the false teacher, the person who cut us off in traffic. No, our battle isn’t with the seen, but the unseen:

  • For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
    Ephesians 6:12
  • For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
    Ephesians 6:12 (AMPC)

Know your enemy.

  • For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
    Ephesians 6:12

Know your weapons and how to use them.

  • Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
    Ephesians 6:17

Know that we are winners.

  • For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
    1 John 5:4 (ESV)

Know Who has overcome the world giving us ultimate victory.

  • I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
    John 16:33 (ESV)
