Fight the Good Fight of Faith: Ready When Your Goliath Shows Up

Fight the Good Fight of Faith: Ready When Goliath Shows Up

1 Tim. 6:11 But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses

2 Cor. 2:14, Now thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the fragrance of his knowledge by us in every place

Hebrews 12:1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.

Sometimes you want to win because of who is watching. And this not because of selfish pride, but you want to win because that’s your purpose and others need you to win. That is the value of living in the light and letting people see your good works. 

We don't fight the good fight of faith to win. We fight the good fight because we have already won. That's why it is a GOOD fight! We fight a good fight because in Jesus Christ, WE WIN! 

Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith
