Fight the good fight of Faith (I Timothy 6:12)

Brothers and Sisters,

We got to fight the good fight of Faith. We got to. We must. We have no better choice. We cannot let people continue living in the lies of the devil. We cannot dishonor Our God by neglecting and ignoring His commandments. We are to point to the Truth.

This does not mean that we do not show love/agape. It does not mean that we reject all those who are wrong. They are victims of Satan themselves. We need to accept them as God accepts them in the love of Christ. Just like Our Lord did not reject the sinners but He clearly demanded that they sin no more (John 8:11). He clearly pointed them to the Absolute Truth . He did speak the Truth in Love. This is what we need to do as well.

We must accept and respect each other but we must never compromise the true Faith. We must always uphold the Truth of God and His Word. A math instructor has to teach the objective truth and facts of the subject, although he respects different wrong viewpoints of his students in math problem-solving. He keeps persevering patiently in doing this until they can see the light and voluntarily decide to change their wrong approach and make the necessary corrections.

This is the same in every area of life. We must uphold the absolute truths of God and His Word everywhere we are. We need to be engaged and committed to the Way, the truth, and the Life (John 14:6) wherever Our Lord has placed us individually.

Yes, we must fight the good fight of faith in love and unity, brother, sister, till death do us part. Remember, we are on the Victor's side- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Who can be against us when God is for us? Nothing shall separate us from Him and His love for us (Romans 8).
