The Good Fight
“Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession before many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12
If you are a follower of Jesus, then you are a fighter. Exodus 15:3 says, “The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name!”
Since we are created in His image, we, too, have this fighter inside us as part of our nature.
You remember how Jesus with righteous anger toppled the tables of the money-changers in the temple. He wasn’t a coward.
He was willing to buck the Pharisees and their religious establishment.
He is the fierce King of Kings whose eyes are like blazing fire and who wears a robe dipped in blood (Revelation 19:13).
Jesus is both the Lamb of God and the Lion of Judah, the Prince of Peace and the Risen Savior, overcoming sin and death once and for all.
We have to consider all of what the Bible tells us to fully appreciate God’s character and Jesus’ example. There is no doubt about it, Jesus was a fighter! And you are also!
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” 2 Timothy 4:7
