Fight the Good Fight
STAY IN THE BATTLE UNTIL CHRIST RETURNS
Paul makes his final charge to Timothy. Calling that “man of God,” back then, and all men and women of God, since, not to coast through the Christian life. Not to let our guards down. But to live like there’s a battle raging all around us. Fleeing from sin and pursuing godliness. Fighting to keep the faith. Faithfully following after Christ even in the presence of real danger or fear. And more than anything else, fearing God - not man. Trusting that “blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see,” who is worthy of all “honor and dominion” can keep us safe until the end (1 Tim 6:15-16).
