"Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:12 NIV)
Christianity is Not a Passive Religion Its a Relationship with God via Jesus Christ
It is one thing to know of God, but to know Him is altogether different. We (whosoever will believe) are called to know God. When we accept Jesus Christ by faith we are saved. To know God is Eternal life (John 17:3) That is to have and live in an intimate relationship with Him. Our faith in Christ Jesus must actively and continually be trained. Like professional boxers we must prepare for the fight. As Christians our fight is Spiritual, so we must exercise and daily renew our minds and purge our hearts. Pull-down strongholds in order that our minds and hearts grow in the knowledge and love of God. We can take this action by first letting go of everything that has the potential to move us from the faith we profess. "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Ephesians 6:12 NIV).
In Perilous Times
"... There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. (2 Timothy 3:5 NIV). This fight may be hard for some which is why we need to train every second, minute, and hour of the day "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
Praise God
