KEY SCRIPTURE:1Ti 6:12 KJV “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”

​

Our key scripture is a very important instruction for every Christian. The fight of Christians is a fight of faith. We are not called to fight demons, although we wrestle against those who use wiles and deception . What we watch in movies is where demons or agents of the devil throw fire at Christians, who likewise throw a counterfire at the devil. This is not the kind of fight we engage in with the devil and his agents. The enemy’s focus is to overthrow the faith of the Christian. Our victory is to keep our faith intact. This is our victory.1 John 5:4

​

The Christian’s strength is the strength  of our Lord Jesus. This is the reason the scriptures say we must be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, Eph 6:10. In this light, Satan’s power is nowhere near the power and might of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is the very power and might we have. It is our faith that keeps us functioning in that power. It is also by our faith that we overthrow Satan and his cohorts. Our fighting position is to keep standing, acknowledging that no matter what the enemy does, we are not defeated. This is standing in faith.

​

Our fight is a fight  of faith. We hold on to what God has said and not what the devil is saying or doing. In the fight of faith, we believe in our hearts what Christ or the word of God has said, and then we say just as it is written.

​

The scripture says fight the good fight of faith, laying hold on eternal life. In the context of that verse, the Christians were being persecuted, and so they had to hold on to their belief in eternal life by boldly confessing that Jesus is their Lord. We are to likewise hold on to the various provisions of the scriptures, declaring what it says. It is a good fight because we always win, which brings glory to God. In our subsequent studies, we would take specific situations in life  and learn how to fight the fight of faith in that aspect of life.

​

THOUGHT: OUR FAITH  IN THE LORD JESUS MAKES

US INVINCIBLE AND SUPERIOR TO THE DEVIL AS OUR LORD JESUS.
