Are you at work for the victor’s crown? James 1:12. Or wasting time sittin’ on the dock of the bay?
What it is – this lifetime battle we are in called “Spiritual Warfare”
The battle for our mind is between good and bad, between God’s Word and the world. It’s a spiritual war. How’s your battle going?
“This is a fight we’re in”
“This is a fight we’re in.” This is not a walk in the park. This experience of living on earth is a test. That’s how the Bible puts it. I do not plan to arrive at the pearly gates with my clothes burning and smokin’! I’m a workin’ more on myself. Got a lot to do still!
Fight the good fight
What does it mean to “fight the good fight”? What fight are we in, as believers? Of course, if we are not truly following Christ, then it doesn’t change things one way or the other – whether we fight the good fight or not. But, for those who follow Christ sincerely, it is incumbent upon us to fight, as 1 Timothy 1:18-19 shows us.
