The Good Fight of Faith

We fight a spiritual war. The more we understand the spiritual nature of this war, the easier it will be to take, Spiritual struggle is worse than any other kind of struggle, We must fight in the realm of thoughts and emotions. We are constantly assailed with conflicting information—nothing is as confusing as the spiritual realm—yet we are expected not just to stand, but to function. In this spiritual war, we have:

  • Spiritual enemies (Eph. 6:12).
  • Spiritual weapons (2 Cor. 10:4; Eph. 6:17b)
  • Spiritual armor (Eph. 6:11-17a)
  • Spiritual strategy (1 Sam. 17:47)
  • Spiritual victory (2 Cor. 2:14)
  • Spiritual reward (2 Tim. 4:8)

 Why is it the good fight?

  1. It is the good fight because it is led by the most noble, the most honorable man who ever lived. It is the good fight because it is the cause of Jesus Christ
  2. It is the good fight because its victory is the victory of the cross, where He who is perfect laid down His life as a sacrifice for imperfect men
  3. It is the good fight because it is a battle for the souls of men.
  4. It is the good fight because it is against Satan.
  5. It is the good fight because it is fought with the love of God, the most noble motive in the universe
