Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses. – 1 Timothy 6:12(NLT)
FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
As you become a follower of Christ
You ought to pursue peace in your life
Fight the good fight for true faith
Don’t engage in conflicts that derails your fate.
Hold on tightly to the eternal life you are called for
Don’t’ walk blindly or live life in a stupor
Boldly declare your trust in your Lord and Savior
Live a full life that is passionate and full of fervor.

We are called to pursue peace at all cost by the Lord Jesus Christ. Embracing peace does not mean that you won’t have an active stance at confronting evil or that you will just be quiet when you ought to be the light that shines for God. 1 Timothy 6:12 calls us to fight the good fight for true faith. It means that we need to be a true disciple of Jesus, following what he commissioned us to do: to preach the Good News and make disciples of all nations. It means that we shouldn’t compromise our integrity by following the world’s ways. We need to equip ourselves with the armor of God mentioned in Ephesians 6 so that we will be able to fight the good fight.
